Chuck Webber, who served as the clock operator at Notre Dame athletics events for more than 50 years, died on Oct. 18, 2015, at the age of 87. He began his association with the University in 1957 when he began officiating interhall football games, ran the non-student football program sales, and served as the timer for men’s basketball and hockey contests. Webber became the clock operator for women’s basketball in 1975 and for football in 1982. In 2007, he was inducted into the Notre Dame Monogram Club on his 80th birthday.

Brother Charles McBride served the Lord faithfully from 1959 until his passing on July 14, 2015, including multiple ministries at the University of Notre Dame. He started photographing Irish athletic events in 1975 and assumed the role as “province photographer” in 2004. Brother Charles’ photos appeared on ESPN, CBS, NBC and Fox television networks, in numerous newspapers and Sports Illustrated.

University of Notre Dame

hen Rev. Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C., arrived in the northern Indiana wilderness, he had only $310, three log buildings badly in need of repair and a farsighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to meet the growing educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of building a great university, and in 1842 he founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac. Over the years, Notre Dame would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame also has been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of synthetic rubber. Today researchers are achieving breakthroughs in astrophysics, radiation chemistry, environmental sciences, psychology, tropical disease transmission, cancer treatment, robotics, peace/religious studies and nanoelectronics. The University also has stressed residential life, with four-of-five students living on campus in 29 residence halls that serve as the focal point of social, spiritual and athletic activities. Notre Dame is one of a handful of universities with a truly national and international student body composed of young men and women who come from more than 90 nations and all 50 states. They attend Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Father Sorin. Notre Dame is one of the few universities to regularly rank in the top 25 in the U.S. News & World Report survey of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best colleges and the Learfield Sports Directorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup standings of the best

overall athletics programs. The University is second only to KU Leuven of Belgium among all Catholic universities worldwide, according to the Times Higher Education survey, and the Mendoza College of Business at Notre Dame boasts the No. 1 undergraduate business program in the nation according to Bloomberg BusinessWeek.

examined important issues such as religion and world conflict, global health, immigration, education and energy. The University’s Catholic identity has been strengthened during Father Jenkins’ tenure in multiple ways, including the appointment of a coordinator for University life initiatives and the construction of multimillion-dollar facilities for the Institute for Church Life, including the Center for Social Concerns, and the Institute for Educational Initiatives, which includes the Alliance for Catholic Education. Father Jenkins earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in philosophy from Notre Dame in 1976 and 1978, respectively, and was ordained a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross in 1983. He holds advanced degrees from Oxford and the Jesuit School of Theology. He is a professor of philosophy and the author of Knowledge and Faith in Thomas Aquinas. A native of Omaha, Nebraska, Father Jenkins was born Dec. 17, 1953.

2015-16 SEASON PREVIEW

ev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., is in his third five-year term as the 17th president of the University of Notre Dame.

University Leadership

Jack Swarbrick

Vice President • Director of Athletics

ohn B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate now in his eighth year in 2015-16 as vice president and director of athletics at his alma mater, has attached his signature to a variety of new initiatives during his tenure: • Launching of Fighting Irish Media—a major enterprise that delivers better information about and access to Notre Dame and its athletic programs via expanded production and distribution of programming. • Developing a plan for expanding Notre Dame Stadium in order to make it a year-round asset for the University, while also improving the game-day experience for student-athletes and fans. That initiative became reality with the 2014 announcement of the Campus Crossroads Project that will add new structures to three sides of Notre Dame’s home football facility—creating new homes for student activities and recreation, career services, digital media, as well as academic disciplines anthropology, psychology, music and sacred music. • Building of student-athlete programs to develop leadership skills, increase community service and provide mentoring and career services resources. • Meeting the performance needs of Notre Dame studentathletes through establishment of a sports performance division. Over the past three years, Swarbrick played a major role in four significant announcements that positively impacted Notre Dame on the national collegiate scene: -- Membership for Notre Dame’s athletic teams (other than football and hockey) in the Atlantic Coast Conference that began with the 2013-14 athletic seasons. In football, Notre Dame will play five games per year against ACC opponents and also have full access to the league’s list of postseason bowl options. Notre Dame hockey now plays in Hockey East. -- An extension of the University’s relationship with NBC Sports through the 2025 football season. -- The 2014 announcement of an unmatched 10-year relationship with Under Armour that provides performance footwear, apparel and equipment for Irish athletic programs. In addition to being a shareholder in Under Armour, Notre Dame collaborates with Under Armour in the areas of sport technology, product development and athlete performance. -- Creation by the Bowl Championship Series of the four-team College Football Playoff, which started with the 2014 season, with Notre Dame maintaining viable access into that system. Swarbrick’s first seven years combined featured a variety of on-and off-the-field Notre Dame athletics successes: • The best across-the-board athletic season in Notre Dame history in 2013-14, as Irish men’s programs claimed the Capital One Cup and 22 of 26 sports overall advanced to postseason play, enabling Notre Dame to finish third in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics allsports standings.

• Number-one rankings for Notre Dame (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the eight most recent NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) surveys--in 2014 at 99 for all-student-athletes. The Irish football program has ranked number one in those listings three of the last five years. • An appearance in the Bowl Championship Series football title game following the 2012 season—an unprecedented year in which the Irish finished the regular season 12-0 to rank number one in the final BCS poll while also ranking number one in the GSR standings. • NCAA championships in 2013 in men’s soccer, 2011 in fencing (a men’s and women’s combined championship) and 2010 in women’s soccer. • NCAA runner-up team finishes in 2015, 2014, 2012 and 2011 in women’s basketball, 2014 and 2010 in men’s lacrosse, 2013 and 2009 in fencing and 2008 in women’s soccer. • NCAA semifinal appearances in women’s basketball in 2013, men’s lacrosse in 2015 and 2012, hockey in 2011, women’s tennis in 2009 and 2010 and women’s soccer in 2009, plus 2010, 2012 and 2015 third-place fencing finishes. • NCAA Elite Eight appearance in men’s basketball in 2015 (first such accomplishment since 1979) • Individual NCAA championships in 2015 by Lee Kiefer (fencing-foil), Francesca Russo (fencing-women’s sabre) and Molly Seidel (track and field-10,000 meters); 2014 by Gerek Meinhardt (fencingfoil), Lee Kiefer (fencing-foil) and Emma Reaney (women’s swimming-200 yard breaststroke); 2013 by Courtney Hurley (fencingepee) and Lee Kiefer (fencing-foil); 2012 by Randall Babb (track and fielddistance medley relay), Chris Giesting (track and field-distance medley relay), Jeremy Rae (track and field-distance medley relay) and Johnathan Shawel (track and field-distance medley relay); 2011 by Ariel DeSmet (fencing-foil) and Courtney Hurley (fencing-epee); and 2010 by Gerek Meinhardt (fencing-foil). • 236 All-America selections and 44 Academic All-America honorees over those seven combined years. Born in Yonkers, New York, and raised in Yonkers and Bloomington, Indiana, Swarbrick is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame, with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Upon graduating from Stanford University Law School in 1980, he returned to Indiana to accept a position as an associate in the Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels, one of the largest in the state. He was made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years with the firm. Swarbrick became Notre Dame’s 12th athletics director on July 16, 2008. He and his wife, Kimberly, are the parents of four children: Kate, a 2010 graduate of Saint Louis University; Connor, a 2011 graduate of Wake Forest University; Cal, a 2014 graduate of TCU; and Christopher, a 2015 graduate of Notre Dame.

2014-15 SEASON IN REVIEW

For the 20th consecutive year, all Notre Dame women’s basketball games will be broadcast on commercial radio in South Bend. The 2015-16 season will be the seventh for the Fighting Irish on the LeSEA Broadcasting Network and South Bend stations Pulse FM (96.9/92.1), which reach a listening area of approximately 1.5 million people across northern Indiana and southwest Michigan. The official Notre Dame athletics multimedia platform, WatchND (watchnd.tv) also carries all Fighting Irish women’s basketball radio broadcasts worldwide, as well as free high-quality live video streams for all home games not shown by commercial television (visit UND.com or watchnd.tv for updates on live stream dates). Bob Nagle is in his 11th season as the “Voice of the Fighting Irish,” with the veteran broadcaster having first manned the microphone from 1996-97 through 1998-99, then returning to that post in 2008-09. During his tenure, Nagle has described all the action from six of Notre Dame’s NCAA seven Final Four appearances (1997 and the current run from 2011-15), as well as Sweet Sixteen runs in 1998 and 2010. He also was instrumental in covering the formative seasons of the legendary Fighting Irish senior class of 2001 that would cap its career with the program’s first national championship. A longtime sports broadcaster at WHME-TV 46 in South Bend, Nagle has been a well-known award-winning media personality in the South Bend community for the past three decades, and is in high demand as a banquet emcee and commercial spokesman. He also covers a myriad of high school sports for WHME-TV, including weekly live broadcasts of area prep football and basketball games, and he remains a fixture at Notre Dame baseball games as the public-address announcer at Frank Eck Stadium.

COACHES AND STAFF

Post-Game Press Conferences: Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw and players, along with the visiting head coach and players, will be available to the media following a brief cooling-off period. Press conferences will be held in the Hammes Auditorium, located adjacent to Gate 1 on the first floor of the arena. Media members should submit player requests for post-game interviews to Chris Masters by the fourth-period media timeout. In-Season Interview Policy: All requests for Notre Dame player or coach interviews must be made through Chris Masters, associate athletics communications director, at (574) 631-8032 or masters.5@ nd.edu. Please provide at least 24 hours notice for all interview requests and be aware that the student-athlete’s academic obligations always take precedence. Interviews may also be done in person following practice. Since practice times vary, please contact Masters for an updated schedule. On game days, no interviews are granted prior to competition. Travel Directions: The University of Notre Dame women’s basketball team plays all of its home games inside Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center on the Notre Dame campus. From the Indiana Toll Road (I-80/90), use exit 77 to South Bend. From the stoplight at the end of the exit ramp, turn right onto Indiana SR 933 and proceed south for three stoplights, passing the Notre Dame nine-hole golf course on your left. At the third stoplight (Angela Blvd.), turn left and proceed east one mile through two more stoplights. After the second stoplight (Eddy Street), take the second left turn onto Leahy Drive. Continue north into the parking lots located south of Purcell Pavilion. Media Parking: The designated media parking area is located southeast of Purcell Pavilion across Leahy Drive (adjacent to baseball stadium) in the area known informally as “Gold Lot.” Broadcast media may temporarily stop at Gate 6 (loading dock) of the arena to load/unload equipment, but then must park in the designated media lot. There are no specific media parking passes issued for Notre Dame basketball games.

Covering the Irish

11/4/15 12:23 PM

Irish on Television The University of Notre Dame women’s basketball team will have a minimum of 21 games on television during the 2015-16 regular season as part of the full Atlantic Coast Conference television package and other arrangements. This year’s Fighting Irish TV slate, which includes 18 national or regionally-televised contests and all 14 regular season home games, is once again the most comprehensive in the program’s history and continues to maintain Notre Dame’s place among the nation’s elite in terms of television coverage. It also will mark the 15th consecutive season the Fighting Irish will have at least seven games on broadcast television. Notre Dame has made 326 televised appearances in the past 15 seasons (2000-01 through 2014-15), and additional games this season could be selected to air on either a regional or local basis, with further announcements pending (the most likely candidates are the Nov. 21 game at South Dakota State and the Nov. 27-28 games at the Junkanoo Jam in Freeport, Bahamas). The premier game on this year’s Fighting Irish television docket is the 14th annual Jimmy V Women’s Classic, which pits Notre Dame and Connecticut against one another for the second consecutive season, continuing the nation’s top rivalry at 5:15 p.m. (ET) Dec. 7 live on ESPN from Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Connecticut.

That game is part of Notre Dame’s 14 regular-season games scheduled for the ESPN family of networks, including three appearances on that entity’s famed “Big Monday” telecast. The Fighting Irish will play once at home and twice on the road on ESPN2’s Big Monday in 2015-16 — Jan. 18 (7 p.m. ET vs. Tennessee), Feb. 1 (6 p.m. ET at Duke) and Feb. 22 (7 p.m. ET at Florida State). Notre Dame has been a mainstay on Big Monday in the past four years, having won all 11 times it has played on the noted ESPN package. The Fighting Irish could make two additional appearances on ESPN or ESPN2 this season, with a final decision on the outlets and times for those games determined no later than 21 days prior to tipoff. On Jan. 10, Notre Dame plays host to North Carolina on either ESPN2 or ESPN3, and on Feb. 7 (Super Bowl Sunday), Notre Dame travels to Louisville for a game that will air on either ESPN or ESPN2. The Fighting Irish remain a featured team on ESPN3 and WatchESPN app as well. Notre Dame will play at least eight games on ESPN3, including seven home games where the award-winning Fighting Irish Media production team will coordinate the broadcast. The Fighting Irish also will play at least four regionally-televised games during the upcoming season on two different conference-affiliated networks.

The Rosenthal Atrium and the recently-christened Austin Carr Concourse (located on the lower inner ring of the arena) feature graphics and theming that highlight Notre Dame’s competing athletic programs. Changes to the interior of the Purcell Pavilion included: • New, blue chair-back seating from top to bottom of the arena, including all-new upperarena sections. All seating was replaced in the lower bowl (including platform seats), and the upper bowl was transformed and replaced with treads and risers and permanent arena seats. The exchange of the upperlevel bleacher sections for chair-back seats changed the capacity from its old configuration of 11,418 to its current total of 9,149. • The aforementioned Club Naimoli hospitality area (approximately 16,500 square feet) in the south end of the arena, with a separate, private entry and with premium club seating for nearly 800 fans. Included in this area are food service and restrooms. • New fixed concession areas, increased numbers of women’s restrooms and increased handicapped seating options. • Enhanced graphics and theming that highlight Notre Dame’s competing athletic programs were added along the interior of the upper concourse.

club or intramural — can play or practice in either the fieldhouse, arena, auxiliary gymnasiums or several work areas provided throughout the spacious building. In 1985, the Rolfs Aquatic Center opened on the east side of the Joyce Center. The $4.5 million facility houses a 50-meter Olympic-size pool (25 yards in width) and spectator seating for 400. In addition to these areas, the Joyce Center also contains the administrative and business side of the increasingly complex collegiate sports operation. Numerous offices are lodged inside, including those for coaches and athletic administrators, as well as media relations offices and facilities. These offices and facilities are located in a central complex that joins the two arenas and in general houses the people and machinery common to both. The spacious Heritage Hall concourse (complete with trophy cases honoring all 26 Fighting Irish athletics programs) also is contained in this core area, as is the tastefully-appointed Monogram Room (with murals of all 30 Notre Dame national championship teams), surrounded by small meeting rooms. On the lower level of the concourse, there are faculty exercise rooms, public squash and handball courts and a central kitchen for catering and concessions. Among those notables who have appeared at the Joyce Center are six U.S. presidents — Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan (twice), George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush (twice) and Barack Obama — as well as entertainment legends Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Elton John and U2.

THE FIGHTING IRISH

complex is both wider and longer than the famous stadium and covers 10 acres of ground. The south arena’s design makes it capable of doubling as a basketball/volleyball court and a 9,000-seat concert hall/auditorium. In recent seasons, the facility has been home to some of the largest women’s basketball crowds in the country, including 45 sellout crowds (39 of those coming in the past six seasons alone). In addition, Notre Dame has ranked among the top 16 in the nation in average attendance during each of the past 15 seasons, finishing a schoolrecord fourth in 2009-10 (8,377 fans per game) and 2013-14 (8,694) and placing fifth in 2010-11 (8,553), 2011-12 (8,571), 2012-13 (program-record 8,979) and 2014-15 (8,554). Such devoted fan support has helped the Fighting Irish built an intimidating homecourt advantage that’s among the nation’s best. Notre Dame compiled a 51-game home winning streak from 1998-2002, the longest in school history and (at the time) the 10th-longest in NCAA history. The Fighting Irish also have won 96 of 102 games at the historic arena since it was renovated prior to the 2009-10 season, and they have an all-time record of 419-91 (.822) at Purcell Pavilion, giving Notre Dame the eighth-best home winning percentage in NCAA Division I history (entering the 2015-16 season). The Joyce Center north dome housed the Fighting Irish ice hockey program until the end of the 2010-11 season and it remains a multipurpose sports center, including the home of the Castellan Family Fencing Center and state-of-theart Fighting Irish Media video production studios. Virtually every sport at Notre Dame — varsity,

• A four-sided LCD center-hung scoreboard, with similar auxiliary message boards above all four court-level ramp entrances and both courtside tables, and state-of-the-art sound system to incorporate these new technological advances. Both the men’s and women’s basketball teams previously moved into new locker rooms and team rooms within the Joyce Center prior to the 19992000 season. In 2005, both the men’s and women’s basketball programs moved into expanded offices located adjacent to Gates 1-2. The women’s basketball office holds special significance, as part of the floor in its main reception area consists of the exact same court upon which Notre Dame won the 2001 NCAA championship at the Savvis Center (now the Scottrade Center) in St. Louis. In its 48th year of service to the University, the double-domed Joyce Center complex also acts as a multipurpose sports venue, a theatre and concert hall, a convention center and an office building. The building was renamed in 1987 to honor Rev. Edmund P. Joyce, C.S.C., Notre Dame’s executive vice president from 1952 until his retirement in 1987. Formerly known simply as the Athletic and Convocation Center (ACC), the complete structure is now referred to as the Joyce Center, with the arena itself called Purcell Pavilion. Originally designed by Ellerbe Architects of St. Paul, Minn., the Joyce Center was conceived at the outset as a combination athletic-civic center, and $1.8 million was contributed by persons in the Michiana area. The Center’s distinctive domes, covered with a white vinyl roofing material stretched over steel ribbing, rise just east of Notre Dame’s iconic football stadium. The Joyce Center

THIS IS NOTRE DAME 2014-15 SEASON IN REVIEW RECORDS

The 2015-16 season will be Notre Dame’s seventh in the refurbished Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center. Throughout its history, the arena has been an intimidating place to play for visiting teams, with the Fighting Irish boasting a 419-91 (.822) record during their 38 seasons at the legendary facility. Notre Dame has been even more dominating at home in the six seasons since the arena renovations were completed, going 96-6 (.941) with three of those six losses coming by three points or less.

ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICANS – Notre Dame ranks second all-time in the number of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-Americans produced since 1952. Entering the 2015-16 school year, 246 Fighting Irish student-athletes have earned Academic All-America recognition throughout the years, including five women’s basketball players. During the past 16 years, Notre Dame has fielded 120 Academic All-Americans (third-most in the nation), including two women’s basketball players: center Ruth Riley who earned first-team Academic All-America honors for the third consecutive year in 2001, and guard Megan Duffy, who also was a first-team Academic All-America pick in 2006. Maggie Lally, a four-year letterwinner with the women’s basketball program from 1978-81, was Notre Dame’s first female Academic All-American, earning second-team honors in both 1980 and 1981. Notre Dame women’s basketball alumnae Shari Matvey and Mary Beth Schueth, also second-team honorees in 1981 and 1983, respectively, join Lally on the Academic All-America list. ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAN OF THE YEAR – In addition to becoming just the fifth Notre Dame student-athlete to be a three-year Academic All-American, Ruth Riley also joined football center Tim Ruddy (1993), women’s soccer goalkeeper Jen Renola (1996-97 fall/winter “atlarge” sports) and men’s basketball forward Pat Garrity (1997) as the fourth Irish student-athlete to be named Academic All-American of the Year for a respective sport or program. Riley — an eight-time Dean’s list student who graduated with a 3.64 GPA as a psychology and sociology major — then earned the highest honor in the nation, as the Academic All-American of the Year for all Division I sports (other finalists included Purdue quarterback Drew Brees and Duke men’s basketball player Shane Battier). Riley spent 13 seasons in the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) before retiring in 2014. ASSOCIATED PRESS ALL-AMERICANS – Fifteen Notre Dame women’s basketball players have earned Associated Press All-America honors. Beth Morgan and Katryna Gaither, who are currently second and third, respectively, on the program’s career scoring list, were the school’s first two All-Americans as they copped honorable mention honors in both 1996 and 1997. As a sophomore, Ruth Riley was a third-team AP selection in 1999 and she then became the first-ever first-team AP All-American in Notre Dame history (in 2000, and again in 2001). Alicia Ratay was a two-time AP All-American, garnering honorable mention laurels in 2000 and 2002. Niele Ivey became the program’s fifth AP All-American, earning third-team honors after her stellar 200001 season. Jacqueline Batteast, was a two-time AP All-America choice, picking up honorable mention recognition in 2003-04 and third-team laurels in 2004-05, while Megan Duffy was a two-time

AP honorable mention All-America choice in ’0405 and ’05-06. Charel Allen picked up honorable mention accolades in 2007-08 and Skylar Diggins and Lindsay Schrader did likewise in 2009-10, before Diggins copped third-team laurels in 201011 and first-team plaudits in both 2011-12 and 2012-13. Diggins was joined in the ’12-13 season by Kayla McBride (third team) and Natalie Achonwa (honorable mention), with McBride (first team) and Achonwa (third team) making the squad in 2013-14, along with Jewell Loyd (second team). Loyd then earned first-team accolades in 2014-15, while current junior guard Lindsay Allen and current sophomore forward Brianna Turner both earned honorable mention status (Turner becoming the third Fighting Irish player to earn All-America recognition as a freshman, along with Ratay in 2000 and Diggins in 2010). ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE – Notre Dame took a landmark step on July 1, 2013, when the Irish officially became a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. For the previous 18 years, Notre Dame had been a member of the BIG EAST Conference for women’s basketball and most of its Olympic sports, while the Fighting Irish also have held various league affiliations in hockey and fencing. The announcement of the Notre Dame’s official acceptance into the ACC came on Sept. 12, 2012. The ACC currently sponsors championships in 25 sports, with Notre Dame participating in 22 of them (all but field hockey and wrestling, which the school does not offer, and football, in which the school is an independent). The ACC added a men’s and women’s fencing championship to its docket in 2015, meaning all Notre Dame sports except football and hockey

(which is a member of Hockey East) now compete under the ACC banner. ATTENDANCE – Notre Dame has ranked in the top 20 in the nation in home attendance each of the past 15 seasons, averaging 6,376 fans in 2000-01, 7,825 in 2001-02, 7,132 in 2002-03; 6,650 in 2003-04; 5,830 in 2004-05; 6,601 in 2005-06; 6,364 in 2006-07; 7,016 in 2007-08, 7,168 in 200809, 8,377 in 2009-10, 8,553 in 2010-11, 8,571 in 2011-12, a record-setting 8,979 in 2012-13, 8,694 in 2013-14, and 8,554 last year, representing the 15 highest single-season averages in the program’s history. All told, the Fighting Irish have attracted 45 sellouts, 39 of which have occurred in the past six seasons. In addition, Notre Dame has welcomed crowds of 5,000 fans or more to 227 of its last 229 home games (the only two not on the list came in the final two rounds of the 2004 Preseason WNIT vs. Duke and Ohio State, when the location of games wasn’t announced until 48 hours before tipoff and no pre-sale tickets were allowed). CONFERENCE COMMAND – Notre Dame has won 20 conference championships (12 regular-season, eight tournament) across the four leagues it has been a part of, dating back to the 1983-84 season. Most recently, the Fighting Irish have won their last four regular-season conference titles (2012 and 2013 in the BIG EAST; 2014 and 2015 in the Atlantic Coast Conference) and the past three conference tournament titles (2013 in the BIG EAST; 2014 and 2015 in the ACC). Notre Dame went 16-0 in its first ACC season (2013-14), and followed that up with a 15-1 record in 2014-15, becoming the first conference school

national championship. Riley became the seventh former Notre Dame student-athlete to be inducted into the Academic All-America Hall of Fame since its inception in 1988. HOME STATES – Notre Dame’s 13-player women’s basketball roster for the 2015-16 season includes student-athletes from 11 different states, stretching to various corners of the country. The current roster includes two players each from Indiana and New Jersey, with the other states represented by the 2015-16 Fighting Irish including California, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin. During the 29-year tenure of Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw, players from 27 different states (including the 2015-16 newcomers) have played for the Fighting Irish women’s basketball program – the above 11 states plus Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Washington and Wyoming (as well as the Canadian province of Ontario). The all-time Notre Dame women’s basketball roster (including the current freshman class) contains 160 players that hail from 36 different states, the above 27 plus the following from the pre-McGraw era: Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Virginia. The most common home states on the Fighting Irish all-time women’s basketball roster are Indiana (21), Michigan (16), Illinois (15), Ohio (10), New Jersey (9) and Florida (8).

third active coach) to guide her team to seven Women’s Final Four appearances. GOLD RUSH – Notre Dame women’s basketball players have combined to win 18 gold medals in international competition. In fact, at least one Fighting Irish player (either an alumnus, current player or incoming freshman) has suited up for a USA Basketball team in an international tournament in 10 of the past 12 years (2004-15), and nearly each time, she has come back to South Bend with a gold medal. Notre Dame’s championship medal run reached a new level in the summer of 2011, when three current Fighting Irish players — Skylar Diggins, Natalie Novosel and Devereaux Peters — made history by becoming the first Notre Dame trio to win gold medals for the same USA Basketball team in the same tournament, helping the United States to a 6-0 record and the World University Games title in Shenzhen, China. Another highlight of Notre Dame’s gold medal success came in 2004, when Ruth Riley (’01) earned a place on the United States Olympic Team that took top honors at the Athens Games. That gold medal made Riley one of just nine players in women’s basketball history to win an NCAA title, WNBA title and Olympic gold. GRADUATION RATES REPORT – According to figures released by the NCAA in October 2014, Notre Dame women’s basketball had a 100 percent Graduation Success Rate (GSR), making the Fighting Irish one of just four programs in the past eight years to register a perfect GSR score in the classroom and play for the national championship on the court in the same season (something Notre Dame has done four times — 2010-11, 2011-12, 2013-14 and 2014-15). HALL OF FAME (COACH) – Head coach Muffet McGraw became the first Notre Dame representative to be inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame when she was enshrined during ceremonies on June 10, 2011, in Knoxville, Tennessee. McGraw is one of 10 active Division I head coaches in the Hall (inducted for their coaching, rather than playing accomplishments), with two of those currently serving in the Atlantic Coast Conference (the other is North Carolina’s Sylvia Hatchell). HALL OF FAME (STUDENT-ATHLETES) – In July 2011, Notre Dame women’s basketball pioneer Carol Lally (Shields) (’79) was inducted into the Academic All-America Hall of Fame. A co-captain on the first two Fighting Irish teams in 1977-78 and 1978-79, Lally went on to attend medical school after graduating from Notre Dame and now is a world-renowned opthamologist at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia. A year later in June 2012, Ruth Riley (’01) took her place in the Academic All-America Hall of Fame, joining that prestigious institution in a familiar setting — St. Louis, the same city where she helped lead Notre Dame to the 2001 NCAA

2015-16 SEASON PREVIEW

to sweep the ACC regular-season and tournament titles in consecutive seasons since 2003-04 (and just the third in conference history). Entering the 2015-16 campaign, Notre Dame has won 51 of its last 52 regular-season conference games, and 75 of 79 overall (regular-season and postseason tournament games), including a combined 38-1 record against ACC foes (31-1 regular-season; 7-0 postseason). Throughout their 38-year history, the Fighting Irish own an all-time record of 393-91 (.812) in regular-season conference games, including 43-11 in five seasons of North Star Conference play (1983-88), 87-15 in seven Midwestern Collegiate Conference seasons (1988-95; now known as the Horizon League), and 232-64 in 18 seasons with the BIG EAST (1995-2013). CHAMPIONSHIP IRISH – Thanks to three Notre Dame graduates, the WNBA’s Detroit Shock went from “worst to first” in 2003, winning the league championship and coming back to do it all over again in 2006. Center Ruth Riley, who won an NCAA title with the Fighting Irish in 2001, started for Detroit during both of their championship runs and was instrumental in the Shock’s three-game series win in the 2003 WNBA Finals over the twotime champion Los Angeles Sparks. In fact, Riley poured in a career-high 27 points in the third and deciding game and was rewarded for her efforts by being named the Finals MVP. That made Riley the first women’s basketball player ever to be named the Most Valuable Player of the finals at both the college and professional levels. Forward Jacqueline Batteast helped Detroit hoist the hardware again in 2006, coming over to the squad from Minnesota via a pre-season trade and lending significant contributions in a reserve role. The other Notre Dame connection in Detroit’s championship seasons was its head coach — 1979 Notre Dame graduate Bill Laimbeer. The former Fighting Irish standout was a two-time NBA champion with the legendary “Bad Boys” Detroit Pistons and assumed the head coaching duties with the WNBA’s Shock midway through the 2002 season. He also led Detroit to a third WNBA title in 2008 before resigning a year later (he now leads the New York Liberty). Meanwhile, the Shock franchise subsequently moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, prior to the 2010 season, and has relocated to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex for the 2016 season. FINAL FOUR – Notre Dame is one of just five programs in NCAA Division I history to advance to the NCAA Women’s Final Four on seven occasions (1997, 2001, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015). The Fighting Irish also became the fourth different team to make five consecutive trips to the Final Four with their current run from 2011-15. Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw is one of five coaches in Division I history (and the

Irish Basketball from A-Z

Irish Basketball from A-Z HOME WINNING STREAK – Notre Dame put together a 51-game home winning streak from 1998-2002, the longest in school history and (at the time) the 10th-longest in NCAA annals. The Fighting Irish defeated three sixth-ranked teams during the streak, downing UCLA and Illinois in 1998-99, and defeating Purdue in 2000-01. The magical run finally came to an end in the final regular-season game of the 2001-02 season, when Villanova edged Notre Dame, 48-45. The Fighting Irish challenged that record with a 34-game home winning streak from 2012-14 before the run ended on Dec. 6, 2014, with a 76-58 loss to third-ranked Connecticut in the Jimmy V Classic. McDONALD’S ALL-AMERICANS – Notre Dame has had 15 incoming freshmen named McDonald’s All-Americans and chosen to compete in the McDonald’s High School All-America Game since its inception in 2002 — Courtney LaVere (2002), Crystal Erwin (2003), Lindsay Schrader (2005), Devereaux Peters (2007), Skylar Diggins (2009), Kayla McBride (2010), Jewell Loyd (2012), Michaela Mabrey (2012), Lindsay Allen (2013), Taya Reimer (2013), Brianna Turner (2014), Kathryn Westbeld (2014), Marina Mabrey (2015), Arike Ogunbowale (2015) and Ali Patberg (2015). Diggins became the first future Fighting Irish player to earn MVP honors at the McDonald’s

game, scoring a game-high 18 points for the East team, which lost to its West counterpart, 69-68, in Coral Gables, Florida, in 2009. Five year later, Turner earned her own McDonald’s MVP award with 10 points, 11 rebounds and the gamewinning basket for the West Team in an 80-78 victory over the East in Chicago. Marina Mabrey is the most recent Notre Dame player chosen as McDonald’s MVP, sharing top honors in 2015 after leading her East Team to an 89-87 win in Chicago. Diggins also won the 2009 Powerade Jam Fest Girls’ 3-Point Shootout title the day before the McDonald’s game (something Michaela Mabrey nearly duplicated in 2012, losing by one point in the finals). Reimer was the first Fighting Irish player to earn the Morgan Wootten Player of the Year award, presented by McDonald’s to the nation’s top prep player. Ogunbowale nearly followed in her footsteps in 2015 as one of five finalists for the Morgan Wootten honor. NCAA LEADERS – Ruth Riley became the first Notre Dame women’s basketball player to rank first in an NCAA statistical category, as she led the nation during the 1998-99 campaign in field-goal percentage (school-record .683). Riley also finished with a .632 career field-goal percentage, currently tied for 13th in the NCAA record book. Former Fighting Irish guard Alicia Ratay graduated in 2003 with a .476 career shooting percentage from three-point range, which broke the old NCAA record (.467) set by 1993 Harvard graduate Erin Maher. Ratay also led the nation in three-point percentage in 2000-01 (.547), setting an NCAA record for long-range efficiency by a sophomore. Kayla McBride found her spot in the NCAA career record books with an .882 lifetime freethrow percentage, tying her for 16th in Division I history. The 2013-14 Fighting Irish squad led the nation in field-goal percentage (.506), the first time Notre Dame earned an NCAA team statistical title since the 2000-01 NCAA championship team took top honors in three-point percentage (.464), field-goal percentage defense (.336) and blocked shots (6.3 bpg.). Brianna Turner became the latest Notre Dame player to earn an NCAA individual statistical championship, leading the country with a .652 field-goal percentage in 2014-15. In doing so, she became only the third freshman in Division I history to lead the nation in that category and the first to do so since 1996-97.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT – Perhaps no women’s basketball program in America can equal the success in developing players into high-caliber athletes that Notre Dame has enjoyed during the last 21 seasons. The Fighting Irish have had at least one All-American at all five floor positions during that time (PG Niele Ivey, Skylar Diggins and Lindsay Allen; SG Alicia Ratay, Charel Allen, Natalie Novosel and Jewell Loyd; SF Beth Morgan, Jacqueline Batteast, Lindsay Schrader and Kayla McBride; PF Katryna Gaither, Devereaux Peters and Natalie Achonwa; C Ruth Riley and Brianna Turner), and six have gone on to earn other major national honors during their careers. Riley was the consensus 2001 national player of the year, while Ivey and Duffy were the ’01 and ’06 Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award winners (top senior 5-8 and under), Diggins claimed the ’12 and ’13 Nancy Lieberman Awards (top point guard) and ’13 Dawn Staley Award (top guard) and Batteast and Loyd were the ’02 and ’13 choices as USBWA National Freshman of the Year. RECRUITING REWARDS – Notre Dame has reaped the benefits of some of the top recruiting classes in the country over the past 19 years. During that time (1997-98 to present), the Fighting Irish have attracted Top 25 classes each season. This year’s incoming group is ranked as high as third in the nation, according to multiple outlets. Notre Dame’s stellar recruiting efforts are coordinated by associate coach Niele Ivey. RING OF HONOR – Notre Dame’s Ruth Riley collected plenty of awards to fill her trophy case, making her possibly the most-decorated student-athlete (in terms of number and variety of awards) in Notre Dame athletics history. Thus it was appropriate that on Nov. 12, 2011, she was the first women’s basketball player enshrined in the Fighting Irish Ring of Honor, a new recognition circle at Purcell Pavilion for the greatest Notre Dame student-athletes to compete in that arena. As such, her ubiquitous No. 00 now hangs in the Purcell Pavilion rafters as a permanent reminder of her accomplishments. Skylar Diggins became the second Notre Dame women’s basketball player to have her number elevated to the Ring of Honor, adding her familiar No. 4 to the Purcell Pavilion rafters on Nov. 16, 2013, at halftime of Notre Dame’s game against Valparaiso. THREE-POINT FLURRY – Former Fighting Irish shooting guard Alicia Ratay turned in a memorable long-distance shooting performance versus Rutgers as a freshman, lifting the Fighting Irish to a 78-74 overtime win on Feb. 19, 2000, at RU’s Louis Brown Athletic Center. Ratay set a BIG EAST record for three-point field goals and threepoint percentage in that game, connecting on all seven of her shots from beyond the arc en route to a 26-point game. Adding to that impressive efficiency was the fact that two of her three-pointers came in the

COACHES AND STAFF

WOMEN’S NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION (WNBA) – Notre Dame has seen 13 of its players taken in the WNBA Draft during the past 15 seasons, including 2015 No. 1 overall selection Jewell Loyd (by the Seattle Storm, the first Notre Dame student-athlete selected No. 1 in a major American professional sports league since 1972 - Walt Patulski by the NFL’s Buffalo Bills), 2014 first-round picks Kayla McBride (third overall; San Antonio Stars) and Natalie Achonwa (ninth overall; Indiana Fever), 2013 first-round choice Skylar Diggins (third overall; Tulsa Shock) and 2012 first-round selections Devereaux Peters (third overall; Minnesota Lynx) and Natalie Novosel (eighth overall; Washington Mystics). The twin choices of Peters/Novosel (2012) and McBride/Achonwa (2014) marked the first time in program history Notre Dame had two players chosen in the first round in the same year, with Peters also being the first Fighting Irish player ever chosen as a lottery (top-four) pick. With Diggins and McBride going in the same No. 3 position during the 2013 and 2014 WNBA drafts and Loyd following with her No. 1 overall selection, Notre Dame became the first school to produce lottery choices in four consecutive seasons. Peters ultimately would help Minnesota win the 2013 and 2015 WNBA titles. Peters’ most recent WNBA championship was the sixth earned by a Fighting Irish alumna, with Peters joining Ruth Riley as Notre Dame’s two-time WNBA champions (Riley won titles with the then-Detroit Shock in 2003 and 2006). Meanwhile, Diggins (2014) became the first Fighting Irish women’s basketball alum to earn a spot on the All-WNBA First Team (she also was the league’s Most Improved Player that season), while Diggins (2013) and McBride (2014) became the first Notre Dame alumnae to make the WNBA

All-Rookie Team. They were joined in 2015 by Loyd, who became Notre Dame’s first WNBA Rookie of the Year, and Achonwa, who rebounded from a knee injury at the end of her college career to help the Indiana Fever to the 2015 WNBA Finals. Diggins is a two-time WNBA All-Star starter (2014-15), joining Riley (2005) as the two Fighting Irish alumnae to earn that distinction. McBride also was chosen as a reserve for the 2015 WNBA All-Star Game. In 2001, Riley was a first-round pick (fifth overall) by the Miami Sol, while Niele Ivey went in the second round to the Indiana Fever and Kelley Siemon was a third-round choice of the Los Angeles Sparks. When the Miami franchise folded in December 2002, Riley was the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Dispersal Draft, going to the Detroit Shock, whom she promptly led to the ‘03 and ’06 league championships. The following year (2007), Riley was traded to the San Antonio Silver Stars, leading that franchise to four playoff berths, including a spot in the Western Conference finals in ’07 and a berth in the WNBA Finals (for the first time in team history) in 2008. She subsequently signed as a free agent with the Chicago Sky in February 2012, and later with the Atlanta Dream in June 2013, helping the latter squad to the WNBA Finals. Ivey spent four seasons with Indiana before signing with Detroit as a free agent in the 2005 offseason and moving on to the Phoenix Mercury later in the ’05 season. Siemon elected to forgo a professional career to begin a stint with Athletes in Action. Her teammate, Ericka Haney was taken in the third round of the 2002 WNBA Draft (47th overall) by the Detroit Shock and played professionally for three seasons. Former All-America point guard Megan Duffy was chosen in the third round (31st overall) of the 2006 WNBA Draft by the Minnesota Lynx. She spent two seasons there before signing with the New York Liberty as a free agent in 2008. Duffy’s former All-America teammate with the Fighting Irish, Jacqueline Batteast was a 2005 second-round selection (17th overall) by the Minnesota Lynx. After one season in the upper Midwest, Batteast was traded to the Detroit Shock, where she teamed with Riley to help bring a second WNBA title to the Motor City. In 2008, All-America guard Charel Allen was a third-round choice (43rd overall) by the Sacramento Monarchs, where she helped that squad advance to the Western Conference playoffs. In 2004, Coquese Washington retired after six seasons in the league, a career highlighted by a WNBA title with the Houston Comets in 2000. Former Fighting Irish All-Americans Beth Morgan (Cunningham) and Katryna Gaither also spent time in the WNBA during its infancy from 1999-2000.

final 17 seconds of regulation – after the Fighting Irish had trailed 65-59 – sending the game into overtime. Her three-pointer with 0:17 left forged a 65-62 game and Rutgers misfired from the line on a one-and-one chance before Ratay delivered again with just four ticks on the clock, draining a shot from the top of the key with the Rutgers defense closing in. The three-pointers were Ratay’s only shots from the floor during the entire game and she also made five of six free throws, including two with 22 seconds left in overtime as the Fighting Irish rallied to the win after earlier squandering a 19-point lead. TOURNAMENT TESTED – Notre Dame has felt right at home in tournament situations during the past 19 years. Starting with the 1997-98 season, the Fighting Irish have won 35 of their last 38 regular-season tournament games, including a four-game run to the 2004 Preseason WNIT title and three-game sprints to the 2009 Paradise Jam, 2010 WBCA Classic and 2012 World Vision Classic crowns. The only Fighting Irish losses during this current stretch were a 67-63 overtime setback at No. 20 Colorado on Nov. 15, 2003 in the finals of the WBCA Classic — a game that saw the Buffaloes sink a desperation 30-footer at the end of regulation to force the extra session — and two losses in the Preseason WNIT (75-59 semifinal loss at Maryland on Nov. 16, 2007; 94-81 championship loss at Baylor on Nov. 20, 2011). 20-WIN SEASONS – The Notre Dame women’s basketball program has posted 20-plus wins in 21 of the past 22 seasons and in 25 of 28 seasons during the tenure of head coach Muffet McGraw. In fact, McGraw is tied for eighth in NCAA Division I history — and tied for fifth among active coaches — with 27 20-win campaigns (including two during her five-year tenure at Lehigh University from 1982-87). TWO THOUSAND CLUB – Beth Morgan and Katryna Gaither, who led the Fighting Irish to the 1997 NCAA Women’s Final Four, proved to be the most prolific scoring combination in Notre Dame and NCAA history, as the duo combined for 4,448 points and 1,608 rebounds from 1993-97. They were the first two players from the same team in NCAA history to each score more than 2,000 career points. Morgan finished as the school’s all-time leading scorer with 2,322 points while Gaither ended up second on the scoring (2,126) chart and third on the rebounding (986) list. They were joined in 2001 by Ruth Riley (2,072 points and 1,006 rebounds), who became the first player with 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in her career, and later in 2013 by Skylar Diggins (2,357 points), who not only supplanted Morgan atop the scoring chart, but became the first Fighting Irish player of either gender to amass 2,000 points, 500 rebounds, 500 assists and 300 steals in her career.

Faces Change, Goals Remain Same For Irish

Promising blend of experience and youth to fuel Notre Dame’s run at sixth consecutive NCAA Final Four. When Muffet McGraw led Notre Dame on to the court at Amalie Arena in Tampa for the NCAA championship game last April, it capped a remarkable chapter in the history of one of the nation’s most storied programs. Graduating three starters from the 201314 season – first-team All-American Kayla McBride, third-team All-American Natalie Achonwa and two-year starter Ariel Braker – McGraw crafted a youthful Irish lineup that took Notre Dame to exceptional heights in the 2014-15 campaign. Notre Dame once again swept the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season and tournament championships in its second year in the legendary league. The Irish finished 36-3 overall, and 15-1 in the ACC regular season. Then, the Irish embarked on an NCAA journey that took them to the national championship game. Although Notre Dame suffered a 63-53 defeat to Connecticut in the final, the 2014-15 Irish made a mark of rare distinction. Notre Dame reached the Final Four a fifth consecutive season under McGraw. Only two schools in NCAA history have been to five or more consecutive Final Fours, Notre Dame and Connecticut, which is on an eight-year run. This season, McGraw, who now carries the title of Notre Dame’s Karen and Kevin Keyes Head Women’s Basketball Coach, and the Irish embrace another challenge of growing a team capable of contending for a national title. Again, there have been key personnel departures, but McGraw and her staff have another talented squad poised to add more hardware to the Irish trophy case. “I think when you look back, you appreciate a little bit more what we were able to accomplish,” McGraw said of Notre Dame’s exceptional 2014-15 season. “We’ve gone through the ACC two years in a row with only one loss. We’ve won the ACC Tournament two years in a row. We made it back to the Final Four a fifth year in a row. “Every year is a new year,” McGraw said in focusing on the season ahead. “It’s a new team. It’s a new chemistry. This team keeps on going. There’s no stopping them. They have a powerful culture that the incoming freshmen buy right into, because

Lindsay Allen the upperclassmen show them the way. They have a great work ethic. They want to be good. They want to finish the job. I think they’re ready.” McGraw loves the passion she has seen in the preseason from her Irish, who return four players who started more than 35 games last season – tri-captains Lindsay Allen, Michaela Mabrey and Taya Reimer, as well as rising star Brianna Turner. “They are never satisfied,” McGraw said of the 2015-16 Irish. “They’re a team that wants to get better. We’ve had really, really, really good workouts so far. I think the seniors are doing a really good job of setting the tone. The freshmen are paying attention. They’re really trying to pick things up quickly.” Notre Dame’s inside game will be a powerful force. The Irish boast All-America candidate Turner, a 6-foot-3 forward, who averaged 13.8 points and 7.9 rebounds a game last season as a freshman. Reimer, a 6-4 junior, contributed 10.2 points and 6.1 rebounds a game in the 2014-15 campaign. Kathryn Westbeld also was a key factor in Notre Dame’s success last season as a freshman, coming off the bench to score 6.7 points and grab 4.4 rebounds a game. Kristina Nelson, a 6-4 junior, is expected to make an impact this season after sitting out last season with an injury. Another

junior, 6-5 Diamond Thompson, adds to a deep Irish inside game. “I think the inside game is going to be exciting for us,” McGraw said. “We have Bri and Taya, bringing experience back, and we add Coco (Nelson). I know the fans are excited, and we are excited to get her back on the court. With Kathryn, we have so much depth in the post. I’m excited about that.” Point guard Allen dished out 5.3 assists a game in addition to scoring 10.4 points a game last season and returns to highlight a strong Irish backcourt. Mabrey averaged 7.2 points a game, and led the Irish with 75 three-pointers. Madison Cable averaged 6.2 points a game, and led the Irish with 59 steals. Hannah Huffman and Mychal Johnson bring critical depth to the Irish backcourt. Incoming freshman guards Marina Mabrey (Michaela Mabrey’s sister), Arike Ogunbowale and Ali Patberg have exceptional prep credentials — each surpassing the 2,000-point mark and collecting McDonald’s High School All-America honors in their careers — and have the ability to make an immediate impact. “We have so many different lineups we can use, so many weapons,” McGraw said. “We have a ton of depth, the most depth that we’ve probably ever had.

see so many good players this year. She’s aggressive getting through screens. She’s going to fight, she’s going to rebound, she’s going to be physical. She brings that same toughness that Madison Cable has, and that’s why she’s such a great defender. “It is crucial for us to be able to look down the bench and see somebody we can trust, who knows what she’s is supposed to do, and is willing to do it, and do it well. I think Hannah had great minutes for us all last year. Everything she went into a game, I thought she added something really positive.”

COACHES AND STAFF

Reimer emerged as a force last season and sharpened her game during the summer, earning a silver medal as a starter on the United States Pan American Games Team. “Taya is kind of a glue player, to me,” McGraw said. “She was out with the Pan Am team, so we didn’t have her this summer, and we just felt like something was missing every time was practice. She adds a lot of experience in the post. She is a really good communicator on the floor. She helps the other posts. She can score in a lot of different ways. She just got better and better as the season went on. By the end of the year, I thought she was playing great basketball. We are really, really pleased

THE FIGHTING IRISH

SENIORS Cable, Huffman and Michaela Mabrey provide the Irish with senior leadership this season. “We have a good veteran group with our seniors,” McGraw said. “They lend so much experience to the team, especially with Madison being in her fifth year. Both Hannah and Madison had such great ends to the season with the way that they played in the end of the South Carolina game (in the Final Four), and Michaela coming off an NCAA Tournament, where she shot 70

percent from the 3-point line. All three are playing with a lot of confidence, I think, as seniors, they know this is their last shot, and they have the sense of urgency needed to get the team moving.” Mabrey’s 3-point shooting ranks among the nation’s best, and she brings exceptional passing to the Irish attack. The twotime Irish captain was third in the ACC in 3-point shooting, and connected for .750 from the three-point line (15-for-20) in the 2015 NCAA Tournament, the fifth-highest cumulative 3-point percentage by a player in a single tournament in NCAA postseason history. “Michaela has incredible vision on the court,” McGraw said. “She sees what’s coming, and she can get the ball to the right people in exactly the right spot. She’s worked on putting the ball on the floor and driving a little bit more.” Cable, Notre Dame’s player most likely to get a floor burn, brings her intense play back for the Irish. Cable, who sat out her freshman season due to injury, was granted a fifth season with the Irish. “Madison was kind of the unsung hero last year until that last play in the South Carolina game, then, she was the hero,” McGraw said. “She’s somebody who gives us great defense. She’s probably our best team defender. She’s always in the right spot, willing to take a charge. She’s willing to do absolutely anything for the team. She’s always willing to sacrifice her body. Points don’t matter to her. She just wants to win. She brings that competitive fire and mental toughness that is so important to our success. “It was huge that she came back,” McGraw continued about Cable. “We really needed her to come back. She gives us a lot of stability and another 3-point weapon. The experience that she’s had is invaluable, and the team loves her. Chemistry-wise, it was a really good thing for everybody. We were all very excited that she decided to come back.” Huffman also shined in the Final Four, and will give the Irish needed toughness on defense. “When you look at our team this year, you wonder who the defensive stopper is going to be, and it’s probably going to start with Hannah,” McGraw said. “She is somebody who we know can come in and guard just about anybody, from up to the players who are 6-foot, 6-foot-1. She can guard the really big guards. We’re going to

2015-16 SEASON PREVIEW

“Offensively, we have great balance. We have a lot of people who can score. The freshmen can score. I think our inside game is as good as it’s been. We’re going to be able to run. The transition will be a strength, again. We have outside shooting with Madison and Michaela. I think we have everything we need offensively. “Defense is the issue. We’re trying to figure out if the freshmen can guard in the backcourt, if they will be able to chase people off screens … I think we have a lot to learn about our team defensively. It was not a strength of ours last year. I would like it to be a lot better. We have a lot of work to do on that end.” McGraw said that rebounding will be an important asset for the Irish. “On paper, it should be a really good rebounding team,” McGraw said of her team. “All three of the freshmen are pretty good rebounders coming, and then you add that to our post game, and Madison has always been a pretty good rebounder. I think we do have a lot of people who can rebound. We should have three really good rebounders on the floor all of the time. “I think we’re on track to where we need to be. I’m not sure about our identity just yet. I’m anxious to see if there’s going to be a toughness developed defensively. I think, right now, we’re smart. We have a really high IQ. I think that’s really important at this stage.” An added benefit of Notre Dame’s deep run in the NCAA Tournament is the extra month of development for last season’s freshmen. “I think it’s always great for the freshmen to have that Final Four experience,” McGraw said. “Coming into the following season, they’re like veterans. They’ve been on the biggest stage and played at the highest level. They know what they have to work on to get back and get one step further.”

2015-16 Season Preview with where she is, and we’re looking for really big things from her this year.” McGraw thinks that the Pan Am Games experience helped Reimer strengthen her leadership skills. In addition to leadership, McGraw is looking for Reimer to add scoring punch to the Irish attack. Allen, who will be running the Irish attack for a third season, earned Associated Press honorable mention All-American honors last season. She was named the NCAA Oklahoma City Regional Most Outstanding Player in leading the Irish to the Final Four with victories against Stanford and Baylor. “Lindsay just continues to get better,” McGraw said. “She’s worked a lot on her game. She has so much experience as a junior that most players don’t have in four years. She’s played on a big stage for her whole career. She is so poised and so steady. She doesn’t make mistakes. She’s smart. Her shot looks great. She’s working on driving the ball more and scoring around the basket. She’s really in a great place right now. When she has the ball, she has com-

mand of the team. They listen to her, they respect her. She is talking more.” Nelson’s return gives the Irish a backto-the-basket presence in the post. “Coco can be physical,” McGraw said of Nelson. “She has great hands, and can catch the ball. She is really, really effective around the basket. She has been working on her passing. She continues to work on her conditioning, which has gotten a lot better.” Having a physical inside player will make the Irish a tough match-up. “Having different types of players in the post makes us hard to guard,” McGraw said. “First, you have Bri, who is running the floor and you have to get back on D, and you have a shot-blocking presence. You have somebody setting a lot of pick-and-rolls. Then, you come in with Coco, who is physical and willing to make post moves on the block. She’s a completely different assignment. She will make it difficult for a team to match-up with both of them.” Thompson has continued to work on her inside game. “Diamond is working on scoring around the basket, and she’s gotten a lot better,” McGraw said. “Defensively, she’s tough to score over. She really makes post players battle.”

SOPHOMORES

Hannah Huffman

Notre Dame’s second-year trio — Turner, Westbeld and Johnson — enjoyed a prolific freshman season in 2014-15. Turner was named the ACC Freshman of the Year last season, and is poised to emerge as an All-American this season. One of the most athletic posts in the nation, Turner was able to run the point effectively. On defense, Turner swatted away 89 opposing shots. “We’re looking for Brianna to really, really step up,” McGraw said. “She’s got to dominate inside, and I think she can. She can score more and she can do more. She is a very dangerous player to have to guard. She has really worked on her free-throw jumper, and she’s really worked on her free throw. Her shot looks great. “Brianna is ready to take another big step. She has All-American potential. I think she needs to see herself in that role, and see herself having that presence that we need. We have a lot of players who have All-American presence. She should be one of our leading scorers, and she should have

Madison Cable the mindset of wanting to score every time she touches the ball.” Westbeld was an impact player last season who was able to score from the blocks as well as the perimeter, and also displayed precise passing. “Kathryn really fits our offense so well,” McGraw said. “She can do so many things. She has a great basketball IQ. She had great minutes for us last year. I love her game. I think she’s going to really step up this year. I think we’re going to get more from her, and she’s ready.” The speedy Johnson is an X-factor for the Irish. “Mychal is somebody we need to guard the ball in the backcourt,” McGraw said. “Defensively, she’s really going to help us. We don’t have a lot of people who can get up and defend the ballhandler in the backcourt. She’s a great 3-point shooter. She’s incredibly smart. She can do everything we want in our offense. She’s someone who is very important to us. I think she’s an X-factor.”

McGraw expects the Irish to contend for the ACC crown, but to once again face a tough challenge. “Florida State has everybody back, and they were a team that was in the Elite Eight last year,” McGraw said. “That’s going to be a really tough game for us on the road. They are a veteran team with a lot of experience. They will probably be picked to win the ACC. “I really think everybody can contend. This is a year where there are so many teams with good players returning. Look at Syracuse. They lost Brittney Sykes for most of last year, and she’s back. Duke has a good core group back. Louisville has some outstanding freshmen. They’ve got a young team. Miami, the team that beat us last year, they have Adrienne Motley back. She’ll be one of the best players in the league. I think everybody is in contention this year.” In addition to the challenging ACC slate, Notre Dame will tackle a difficult non-conference schedule that includes

matchups with defending national champion UConn, Tennessee, Ohio State, Oregon State and DePaul. The Irish also will spend the Thanksgiving holiday in the Bahamas, participating in the Junkanoo Jam for the second time in five years.

In fact, Owens is beginning her 16th season on McGraw’s staff, and Ivey, who was promoted to associate coach during the summer, is in her ninth year on the Irish bench after five seasons as a player. The duo also are the common links (along with McGraw) on all seven of Notre Dame’s Final Four squads. “It’s been so important to have consistency on the staff and have that steady direction,” McGraw said. “Each of my assistants are truly gifted and so good at what

Marina Mabrey, Ogunbowale and Patberg – who are all guards – give Notre Dame the No. 3-ranked incoming freshmen class. Mabrey scored 2,525 points in her career and averaged 22.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 3.0 steals in high school. “Marina is different than anybody we’ve had,” McGraw said. “She’s smooth and crafty with the ball. She can drive it. She has a great handle. She’s aggressive to the point of being very feisty. She’s willing to have contact. Our fans are going to love watching her play and I’m excited to watch her play.” Ogunbowale averaged 22.2 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.2 steals in her high school career, finishing with 2,240 points. “Arike is so strong,” McGraw said. “She’s one of the strongest players on the team. She can got to the basket. She can initiate contact. I think she’s going to get to the free-throw line more than anybody on the team. She can finish in traffic. She can face up, she can drive the ball. She has a lot of skills. “ Patberg won a gold medal with the USA Basketball Under-19 Team in the FIBA Under-19 World Championships. She averaged 18.9 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.6 steals and scored 2,026 points in her high school career. “Ali is a super-smart point guard,” McGraw said. “She has a really high IQ and understands the game. She is just what we need at the point guard position. She can score, but right now, she’s looking to pass more. I think she is going to be a great leader for this team down the road.”

The Fighting Irish

11/4/15 12:24 PM

Karen & Kevin Keyes Family Head Women’s Basketball Coach

MUFFET McGRAW 29th Season • 699-221 (.760) 34th Season Overall • 787-262 (.750) Saint Joseph’s (Pa.) ’77

“If we searched for an entire year. I don’t think we would find anyone better suited for our program.” With those words, former Notre Dame director of athletics Gene Corrigan announced the hiring of Muffet McGraw as the third head coach of the Fighting Irish women’s basketball program on May 18, 1987. Corrigan may not have realized it at the time, but he also ushered in an era of unparalleled success in women’s basketball at Notre Dame, brought to life on the shoulders of a 5-foot-6 dynamo who accepts nothing less than the very best from herself, her players and her program. Ask anyone familiar with women’s basketball about McGraw and her Notre Dame program and inevitably, you’ll hear the same two words — consistency and excellence. And it’s no wonder, when you consider what McGraw and the Fighting Irish have achieved in the past 28 seasons:

• The 2001 NCAA national championship, defeating Purdue in the title game, 68-66. McGraw is one of seven active Division I coaches to guide her team to a national title. • Five trips to the NCAA Division I national championship game, including four of the past five NCAA title contests (2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015). McGraw is one of just two active Division I coaches (and four all-time) with at least five appearances in the NCAA national championship game — the other three Division I coaches (Tennessee’s Pat Summitt, UConn’s Geno Auriemma and Louisiana Tech’s Leon Barmore) all are enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. • Seven trips to the NCAA Women’s Final Four (1997, 2001, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015). McGraw is one of just three active Division I coaches (and five all-time) to lead her team to seven Women’s Final Four appearances. • 13 NCAA Sweet 16 trips, all in the past 19 seasons (1997-2015). The Fighting Irish are one of five teams in the nation to make that claim (and five to do so in the past six years). • Three-time consensus National Coach of the Year, sweeping the four major coaching honors (Associated Press, WBCA, Naismith Award and USBWA) in 2001, 2013 and 2014. McGraw is the first NCAA Division I coach to sweep the “Big Four” awards three times in her career. • Six-time conference Coach of the Year, most recently collecting her first ACC Coach of the Year trophy in 2014. McGraw has earned her six coaching honors in five different conferences during her career (the past five awards while at Notre Dame), having also garnered accolades in the East Coast (1983 - at Lehigh), North Star (1988), Midwestern Collegiate/Horizon League (1991), BIG EAST (2001, 2013) and Atlantic Coast (2014) conferences. • Ranks 10th all-time among NCAA Division I coaches (seventh among active coaches) with 787 career wins entering the 2015-16 season. • Ranks 14th all-time among Division I coaches (12th among active coaches) with a .750 career winning percentage entering the 2015-16 season. • Tied for eighth all-time among NCAA Division I coaches (tied for fifth among active coaches) with 27 20-win seasons, including 25 of her 28 seasons at Notre Dame with 20-or-more victories, as well as 21 in the past 22 years (1993-2015). The Fighting Irish also have posted 12 25-win seasons, seven 30-win campaigns and four 35-win seasons in the past 18 years (1997-2015) under McGraw’s tutelage. • Made 22 NCAA tournament appearances, including a current string of 20 consecutive NCAA tournament berths (the fifth-longest active run of consecutive appearances and seventh-longest streak at any time in NCAA tournament history). During this current streak (1996-2015), Notre Dame has won at least one NCAA postseason game 18 times. • Won 10 conference regular-season titles, including the past four in a row outright in both the BIG EAST (2012, 2013) and ACC (2014, 2015). The Fighting Irish also ran the table twice in that span, going 16-0 in both the BIG EAST (2012-13) and ACC (2013-14), the latter being the first 16-0 record by an ACC school in 11 seasons. What’s more, under McGraw’s guidance, Notre Dame

has placed among the top four in the final conference standings 25 times in her 28 seasons. • Earned eight conference tournament championships, including each of the past three seasons as members of the BIG EAST (2013) and ACC (2014 & 2015). • Collected 125 wins over ranked opponents, including 111 in the past 17 seasons (1998-99 through 2014-15). In addition, 50 of those wins have come against top-10 opponents, including 18 against top-five teams and four against No. 1-ranked squads. • Made 294 appearances in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, including an active school-record streak of 155 consecutive weeks in the AP poll. McGraw is seventh among active Division I coaches and 15th all-time in AP poll appearances (entering the 2015-16 season). Notre Dame also has spent 183 weeks ranked among the top 10 teams in the nation, all in the past 19 seasons (1997-2015). • Guided Notre Dame to the No. 1 ranking in the WBCA/USA Today coaches’ poll on Nov. 25 and Dec. 2, 2014, the first time the Fighting Irish were in the top spot since the final poll of Notre Dame’s 2001 NCAA national championship season. Notre Dame also became the first ACC team to earn the No. 1 ranking since March 12, 2007 (Duke). • 19 consecutive top-20 recruiting classes, dating back to the incoming class of 1997 (and including the incoming class of 2015, ranked as high as No. 3 in the nation). Notre Dame is one of just three programs in the nation that owns an active streak of that length. • Ranks second on the all-time wins list (regardless of sport) in the 127-year history of Fighting Irish athletics, trailing only the late Michael DeCicco (774-80 combined record with men’s/women’s fencing from 1962-95). • Far and away the winningest basketball coach (men’s or women’s) in school history, with noted men’s skipper Digger Phelps second on that list (393 wins). • A perfect 100-percent NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) score in each of the past seven years (2007-14). In that time, Notre Dame is one of four programs in the country to record a perfect GSR (announced in October) and go on to play for the national title later that same season (something the Fighting Irish did in 2010-11, 2011-12, 2013-14 and 2014-15). Add it all up and you have the framework for a Hall of Fame career. And, on June 11, 2011, that’s exactly what McGraw became, as she officially was the first Notre Dame representative to be inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, an accomplishment immortalized with a banner hanging in Purcell Pavilion. Still, with all of those accomplishments in hand, McGraw has shown no signs of slowing down any time soon. In July 2012, the veteran head coach signed a landmark 10-year contract extension (believed to be among the longest contract agreements in NCAA women’s basketball history) that will keep her patrolling the Fighting Irish sidelines through the 2021-22 campaign. “For more than 25 years, Muffet has led our women’s basketball program and represented this University with distinction,” said Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., Notre Dame’s president. “Her teams have excelled on the court and in the classroom, and I am absolutely delighted that she will continue to lead the Irish for many more years.” “We are thrilled to be able to enter into a decade-long agreement with Muffet, who is not only the face of Notre Dame women’s basketball, but increasingly, the face of women’s basketball, given all that she’s accomplished,” said University vice president and director of athletics Jack Swarbrick. “She’s taken this program to a place where it’s annually in the conversation for the national championship, which is the model all coaches want to follow. She’s also playing an important role in the game nationally, and her peers recognize those contributions, as well as the quality of her program here at Notre Dame. Off the court, she has created a program that has a lasting community identification and a special connection between the University and the city of South Bend, which is one of those unique points of intersection that universities have to be careful to build and maintain, and she’s done that for us in a really remarkable way.” McGraw’s post at Notre Dame was further enhanced on Feb. 16, 2015, when one of her former players, point guard Karen (Robinson) Keyes (’91) and her husband, Kevin, made a $5 million gift to their alma mater to endow its head women’s basketball coaching position, now known as the Karen and Kevin Keyes Family Head Women’s Basketball Coach. It’s believed to be the largest endowment gift of its kind in NCAA women’s basketball history, as well as the first endowed coaching position of any sort in Notre Dame athletics history.

McGraw’s coaching acumen was on full display in 2014-15, as the veteran mentor skillfully molded a Notre Dame team without a senior starter and missing 40 percent of its offensive production from the previous season into a 36-3 club that was ranked No. 2 in both major national polls at year’s end, won its second consecutive ACC regular-season and tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Women’s Final Four for the fifth year in a row (just the fourth school ever to do so), as well as the NCAA national championship game for the fourth time in five seasons (only the third Division I program to accomplish that feat). This past season also demonstrated McGraw’s remarkable ability to develop and grow her players during the rigors of one of the nation’s toughest schedules. With more than half her 13-player roster consisting of freshmen and sophomores (including three starters), McGraw led Notre Dame to 13 wins against ranked opponents, highlighted by a school record-tying eight victories over top-10 teams. In addition, the Fighting Irish reeled off a 22-game winning streak during the final three months of the season, matching the fourth-longest success string in program history (and the fourth consecutive year Notre Dame has had a winning streak of 20 or more games).

2015-16 SEASON PREVIEW

“Muffet is one of the most important influences in our lives,” Karen Keyes said. “We are proud to honor her, recognize her dedication to the University and continue to admire all of the successful women she has coached and developed over her entire career.” ••• Under McGraw’s guidance, the past 20 seasons (1995-96 to the present) have been the most successful in Notre Dame’s history, reflecting the program’s remarkable BIG EAST Conference era and transition to its current home, the Atlantic Coast Conference. During that time, the Fighting Irish have compiled an impressive 540-141 (.793) record, including a sparkling 263-65 (.802) regular-season mark in conference play, finishing their 18-year BIG EAST tenure with the second-best winning percentage (232-64, .784) in that league’s history. During this two-decade span, Notre Dame has averaged 27 victories per year, with four 35-win seasons, seven 30-win campaigns and 12 25-win seasons to its credit. What’s more, the Fighting Irish have one NCAA national championship (2001), five NCAA title game appearances (2001, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015), seven NCAA Women’s Final Four berths (1997, 2001, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015) and 13 Sweet 16 showings since the 1995-96 season, which began the program’s current run of 20 consecutive NCAA Championship appearances.

••• To be sure, the night of April 1, 2001, is one McGraw and the Fighting Irish faithful will never forget. On that memorable Sunday evening in St. Louis, Notre Dame defeated Purdue, 68-66 as McGraw’s 14th Fighting Irish team won the school’s first NCAA women’s basketball championship. It was the second Final Four appearance in five years for McGraw’s troops, who became the only NCAA champion to erase double-figure deficits in both of its Final Four contests. Having coached the Fighting Irish to their best ever regular-season record at 26-1 and a (then) school-record 34 wins (the second 30-win campaign in school history), and having guided Notre Dame to its best record (34-2) and season winning percentage (.944), McGraw earned numerous national awards for her efforts. For the first time in her career, she received national coach-of-the-year honors from the WBCA, USBWA, AP and the Atlanta Tipoff Cub (Naismith Award). Ruth Riley joined McGraw for the latter two honors, earning AP and Naismith player-of-the-year laurels, and she also was recognized as the nation’s top student-athlete when she was named the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Team Member of the Year. In addition, the New York Athletic Club honored McGraw with the 2001 Winged Foot Award, which is presented annually to the coach of the NCAA champion. She also was selected as the WBCA District I Coach of the Year and was voted the BIG EAST Coach of the Year for the first time. ••• McGraw has led the Fighting Irish to all 22 of their NCAA Championship appearances, the first coming in 1992 and the second in 1994. Yet, Notre Dame’s first NCAA Championship win didn’t come until after it joined the BIG EAST Conference in 1996 when, as the 12th seed in the Midwest region, the Fighting Irish stunned fifth-seeded and 15th-ranked Purdue, 73-60, in Lubbock, Texas. The success of that 1995-96 campaign and a 23-8 record earned McGraw national recognition as well, as she was named the WBCA District II Coach of the Year. One season later, McGraw and the Fighting Irish made an even bigger national statement, going all the way to the Final Four. Notre Dame compiled a gaudy 31-7 record (at the time the most wins in school history) and the first 30-win season in the program’s history. Also, for the first time ever, the Fighting Irish were ranked in both the AP and ESPN/USA Today polls from the preseason until the end of the year. Notre Dame earned its first-ever top 10 ranking at the end of November and achieved all-time high finishes in both final polls, finishing fifth in the ESPN/USA Today rankings and 15th in the AP poll. McGraw and the Fighting Irish got to the 1997 NCAA Women’s Final Four the hard way, beating three consecutive ranked opponents on the road. In its NCAA first-round game in Austin, Texas, Notre Dame cruised to a 93-62 victory over Memphis. Its second round contest matched the Irish up with Texas. Undaunted by the hostile Longhorn crowd, Notre Dame pulled off an 86-83 upset of its 14th-ranked hosts. Making their first-ever Sweet Sixteen appearance, the Fighting Irish erased a nine-point halftime deficit and went on to defeat eighth-ranked Alabama, 87-71 in Columbia, S.C. Notre Dame then claimed the East Regional championship and booked its first trip to the Final Four with a 62-52 win over No. 22 George Washington.

An 80-66 loss to eventual national champion Tennessee couldn’t dampen what remains a defining season in the program’s history and one that would set the stage for the memorable events of 2000-01 and Notre Dame’s ascension into the ranks of college basketball’s elite programs. ••• To understand the competitive fire that has fueled much of McGraw’s success, you have to go back to her playing days. A four-year starter at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, she captained the 1976-77 Hawk team that finished 23-5 and was ranked third nationally. In four seasons at Saint Joseph’s University, McGraw helped her team compile a 59-12 mark, while participating in the regional Eastern Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (EAIAW) tournament once and the national AIAW tourney once. She received her bachelor’s degree in sociology from Saint Joseph’s University in 1977. Following graduation, she coached for two seasons at Philadelphia’s Archbishop Carroll High School where she guided her teams to a 50-3 record, including a 28-0 mark during her second year. In that ‘78-79 season, she led her squad to the Catholic League title and was named coach of the year for the Philadelphia Catholic League. McGraw then played point guard for one year with the California Dreams in the Women’s Professional Basketball League (WBL). She returned to her alma mater in 1980, serving as an assistant coach for two seasons under Jim Foster (now the head coach at Chattanooga). In 1982, McGraw was named head coach at Lehigh University, leading that school to unprecedented success. Her teams were 88-41 (.683) during her five-year tenure. She was named East Coast Conference Coach of the Year following her first season with the Engineers (as they were then known) in 1982-83. Her ‘84-85 and ‘85-86 teams posted back-to-back 20-win seasons, finishing 20-8 and 24-4, respectively. The latter squad won the most games in women’s basketball history at the school, while claiming both the ECC regular-season and tournament titles. ••• In her first season at Notre Dame (1987-88), McGraw took a team which finished 12-15 the previous year and guided that squad to a 20-8 mark, including the program’s first-ever win over a ranked opponent (78-66 at No. 17 Duke) as she was named North Star Conference Coach of the Year. The following year, McGraw and the Fighting Irish moved into the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (MCC) — now known as the Horizon League — and set about establishing a standard of excellence in that conference that has yet to be duplicated. In seven years as a member of the MCC, Notre Dame won five regular-season and tournament championships, including four consecutive tournament crowns from 1989-92. McGraw’s teams never finished lower than second in the regular-season standings and advanced to the semifinals of the conference tournament all but once. Notre Dame wound up compiling an 87-15 (.853) record in MCC regular-season games and was 13-2 (.867) in tournament play. While her teams’ successes in the MCC were impressive, McGraw and the Fighting Irish had their sights set on bigger goals. The first of those aims was achieved on Dec. 28, 1990, when Notre Dame

THE FIGHTING IRISH

Naismith award recipients (Niele Ivey in 2001, Megan Duffy in 2006), a two-time Nancy Lieberman Award honoree (Diggins in 2012 and 2013) and a pair of selections as United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) National Freshman of the Year in Loyd (2013) and Jacqueline Batteast (2002). ••• Another sign of McGraw’s success has been her ability to prepare her players for the next level. No less than 28 Notre Dame cagers have gone on to play professionally (domestically or overseas), including 15 who either have been drafted or signed as free agents with WNBA teams. The past 15 years have seen the greatest influx of Fighting Irish talent into the WNBA, with 13 Notre Dame players having been selected in the league’s annual draft since 2001, including six top-10 picks in the past four years and the school’s first four WNBA lottery selections (Devereaux Peters in 2012 to Minnesota; Diggins in 2013 to Tulsa; McBride in 2014 to San Antonio, all with the No. 3 overall choice; then Loyd in 2015 to Seattle with the No. 1 overall selection), making Notre Dame the only program in the 19-year history of the WNBA Draft to produce lottery (top-four) picks in four consecutive seasons. Perhaps no former Fighting Irish player has achieved greater success at the professional level than Riley. Less than a month after being named the 2001 NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player, Riley was taken with the fifth overall pick in the WNBA Draft by the Miami Sol, where she spent her first two pro seasons. When the Sol folded in 2003, she was the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA dispersal draft by the Detroit Shock, quickly becoming a crowd favorite in the Motor City. With Riley in the starting lineup, Detroit rolled to the league title with a storybook “worst-to-first” finish in ‘03, and Riley herself was named the WNBA Finals MVP, becoming one of just two players in women’s basketball history to earn Finals MVP honors at both the NCAA and WNBA levels. She also is one of only nine players in women’s basketball lore to earn championships in NCAA, WNBA and Olympic competition. Riley came back to earn a second WNBA title with Detroit in 2006, before being traded to the San Antonio Silver Stars in 2007. Once she arrived in the Alamo City, Riley helped the Silver Stars to five consecutive playoff appearances, including the franchise’s first trip to the WNBA Finals in 2008. She returned to the WNBA Finals for a fourth time in 2013 with the Atlanta Dream before retiring a year later. Riley’s bid for a third WNBA crown in 2013 was stopped, but only at the hands of another former Notre Dame All-American, as Peters helped the Minnesota Lynx to the title (a feat she duplicated against in 2015 against Natalie Achonwa’s Indiana Fever), among six times a Fighting Irish alum has hoisted the WNBA hardware. The others who have won pro titles include Coquese Washington with the 2000 Houston Comets, and Batteast, who was Riley’s teammate in Detroit in 2006. ••• McGraw’s teams also have been stellar in the classroom. Since she arrived at Notre Dame in 1987, every women’s basketball player who completed her athletic and academic eligibility at the University has graduated. Additionally, two Fighting Irish players — Riley and Duffy — have been named CoSIDA first-team Academic

2015-16 SEASON PREVIEW

announced its presence on the national basketball scene with a historic 71-66 win over No. 11 Louisiana Tech in the first round of the Texaco-Hawk Classic in McGraw’s hometown of Philadelphia. The next evening, the Fighting Irish upended McGraw’s alma mater, Saint Joseph’s (Pa.), 72-53, in the championship game, causing Hall of Fame sportswriter Mel Greenberg to note in the Philadelphia Inquirer the following day, “They were the kind of wins that get a team noticed on the national level.” Those words proved prophetic only days later when, on Dec. 31, 1990, the Fighting Irish women’s basketball program earned the school’s first national ranking. Notre Dame entered the AP poll at No. 25 and remained in both the AP and USA Today polls for the next nine weeks, climbing as high as 19th in the AP and 18th in the USA Today poll. ••• Throughout her storied coaching career, success for McGraw has meant developing great players, including recent consensus first-team All-Americans Skylar Diggins (2012, 2013), Kayla McBride (2014) and Jewell Loyd (2015). All three also earned conference player-of-the-year honors while playing under the Golden Dome (Diggins - 2012 and 2013 BIG EAST; McBride - 2014 ACC; Loyd - 2015 ACC). Riley, the 2001 BIG EAST Player of the Year, became the third Notre Dame player to earn AP All-America honors when she was named in ‘99 to the third team. Riley, who was a unanimous first-team all-BIG EAST selection in 2000 and was the ‘99 BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year, also earned WBCA honorable mention All-America honors. She was a member of the ‘99 U.S. World University Games team and proudly represented her country as a member of the gold medal-winning 2004 U.S. Olympic Team. Two other players whose names are forever linked to elevating the Notre Dame program to national prominence are ‘97 graduates Beth Morgan (now Beth Cunningham and in her second year as associate coach on McGraw’s staff) and Katryna Gaither. The two-time Kodak (now WBCA Coaches’) and AP honorable mention All-Americans both scored more than 2,000 points during their careers, becoming the first two players from the same team in NCAA history (male or female) to reach that milestone. To this day, they still rank second and third, respectively, on the Fighting Irish career scoring list, while Gaither also stands as the school’s second all-time leading rebounder behind Riley. Both players went on to careers at the professional level with the now-defunct American Basketball League (ABL) and the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). The group of Diggins, McBride, Loyd, Riley, Morgan and Gaither highlight an impressive list of 18 Fighting Irish players who have garnered All-America honors during McGraw’s career. The Hall of Fame coach also has worked with 17 players who have been selected for USA or Canada Basketball National Teams (Diggins and McBride currently are part of the 2014-16 USA Basketball National Team player pool), with those Notre Dame players earning 32 medals, including 18 golds (highlighted by Riley’s gold with the ’04 U.S. Olympic Team. In addition, McGraw has coached 28 players who have earned all-conference recognition a total of 60 times, including 22 first-team picks who have been chosen a total of 37 times, and has shaped several other national award winners, namely two Frances Pomeroy

Riley subsequently was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame® in 2012. ••• McGraw’s knack for developing talent also extends to the coaching ranks. No less than 13 of her former players and/or assistant coaches currently are serving as coaches at the college level. In addition, four of her former pupils are presently NCAA Division I head coaches: Bill Fennelly, another former aide who is piloting Iowa State; Kevin McGuff, a Notre Dame assistant for six seasons who now is the head coach at Ohio State; Jonathan Tsipis, a Fighting Irish assistant for nine years who now serves as head coach at George Washington, and Coquese Washington, a 1991 Notre Dame graduate and eight-year veteran on McGraw’s staff who now is in charge at Penn State. McGuff, Washington, and current Fighting Irish associate head coach Carol Owens comprised McGraw’s assistant coaching staff on Notre Dame’s 2001 NCAA national championship squad, while McGuff and Owens also were on McGraw’s staff for Notre Dame’s run to the 1997 NCAA Final Four (with a roster that included two of McGraw’s current assistants — Beth (Morgan) Cunningham and Niele Ivey). ••• On a national level, McGraw is widely regarded as a champion for studentathletes. In June 2002, she accepted an invitation from U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige to join the Commission on Opportunity in Athletics. Created 30 years after the passage of the Title IX anti-discrimination law, the 15-member panel examined ways to strengthen enforcement and expand opportunities to ensure fairness for all college athletes. McGraw was the only women’s basketball coach on

the Commission, which also included former WNBA great Cynthia Cooper-Dyke, former U.S. National Soccer Team captain Julie Foudy and two-time Olympic gold medalist Donna DeVarona. In the summer of 2004, McGraw served with the WBCA’s Special Committee on Recruiting and Access, which helped create numerous proposals to the NCAA that clarified and strengthened national recruiting guidelines. McGraw’s work on that committee led to her selection in 2005 as a member of the WBCA’s Board of Directors, serving as the Division I Legislative Chair for that body through June 2011. Her efforts to preserve and improve the status of college athletics were recognized by the WBCA in 2009, when she was chosen to receive the prestigious Carol Eckman Award, which goes annually to an active WBCA coach who exemplifies Eckman’s spirit, integrity and character through sportsmanship, commitment to the student-athlete, honesty, ethical behavior, courage and dedication to purpose. Since 2011, McGraw has been front and center as a member of numerous NCAA and WBCA sub-committees focused on growing the sport, including her recent participation in 2013 at the NCAA “White Paper Summit,” discussing recommendations presented in Val Ackerman’s “White Paper” evaluation of women’s college basketball earlier in the year. ••• On top of her tireless work at Notre Dame, McGraw often is in demand as a featured speaker at various camps, luncheons and other fundraisers around the country. For several years, she has been a co-chair for the annual “Run, Jane, Run” golf tournament in South Bend, which benefits local chapters of the YWCA. McGraw also has been at the forefront of numerous charitable events in the South Bend area, from book drives for area school children and donations to local food pantries, to silent auctions and receptions that benefit cancer charities. McGraw had her first book published in 2003, teaming with Bradley University professor Paul Gullifor to pen Coaching Success: Muffet McGraw’s Formula for Winning — In Sports and In Life. Born Dec. 5, 1955, in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and raised in nearby West Chester, McGraw is one of the predominant women’s basketball figures to come from the Philadelphia metro area. In 1986, she was inducted into the Saint Joseph’s University Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, followed by her enshrinement in the Philadelphia Big Five Women’s Hall of Fame in 1989. In November 2002, McGraw’s alma mater came calling once again, inducting her into the Saint Joseph’s University Athletics Hall of Fame. In 1997, McGraw was named an honorary alumna by the Notre Dame Alumni Association and received an honorary monogram from the Notre Dame Monogram Club. McGraw and her husband, Matt, celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary in 2015, and they have a 25-year-old son, Murphy, a 2012 Indiana University graduate, who now works in the corporate offices for Kohl’s Department Stores in Milwaukee. The McGraws live in Granger, Indiana.

HISTORY

“They have made Purcell Pavilion a really tough place to play. It’s a place that no opponent wants to come into. Our fans are so intelligent, they have great support and passion for us, they want us to play hard and compete, and they inspire us to do just that.

“Chemistry is important in every area of the game and that trickles down to the team. The players all see how well we get along and I think that helps them. They know that there is no confusion. You can’t run to Mom to complain about Dad. We are a really united group, and we like to spend time together on and off the court. Our meetings are fun, we enjoy being together and we work extremely hard. “We all have different strengths and each coach is able to fully utilize what her strengths are. They (the other coaches) are extremely talented and I like to give them freedom. They work well on their own with their particular position groups when they are in the gym. They are all good enough to be head coaches one day, and I try to give them the challenges they will see as a head coach. They have a chance to really use their skill sets. “When you have people as talented as I have on my staff, that’s the way to go because they really have accomplished a lot. We are a veteran group, we are very experienced and everyone on the staff has a sense of urgency. They are incredibly organized and just do their jobs extremely well.”

“My four years at Notre Dame were indeed lifeshaping. From heartbreaking losses to the ultimate level of success, I learned how to handle pressure, what it takes to be a leader and how to balance my faith, family, academics and basketball. I will forever be grateful to Coach McGraw for giving me the opportunity to attend Notre Dame; for instructing me, guiding me and pushing me to achieve my academic and athletic goals; and most of all, for the continual support she shows in my life outside of Notre Dame.”

2014-15 SEASON IN REVIEW

“The biggest thing we’ve done in our recruiting lately is to look at skilled players. There was a tendency for everybody to look at great athletes for a while, but I want somebody who can score. If you have to guard all five people on the floor, you’re going to be a really difficult team to match up with. We’ve really looked at developing the skill level of our players — we want to be leading the nation in field-goal percentage and assist-to-turnover ratio, and we want to be the team that makes the extra pass and won’t turn the ball over as much. In the end, we brought in players that, while they may not have been as highly ranked, we felt like they were a good fit for us. “It’s a style that allows us to give freedom and creativity to all of our players. We want them to grow as a player, find different ways to contribute to the offense and play to their strengths, which is something this offense does very well.”

“I think that it is important for me to develop our staff and help them become head coaches, and one of the best ways you can do that is by getting out and talking with the different people who have different philosophies. You have to create you own philosophy and the only way you are going to do that is to be open to what other people are doing. That’s why we’ve spent time watching and talking with men’s coaches like Pete Carril (Princeton; retired), Tom Izzo (Michigan State), Jamie Dixon (Pittsburgh), Brad Stevens (Boston Celtics; formerly Butler) and Stan Van Gundy (Detroit Pistons). “I like watching how other coaches work. It doesn’t really matter what sport — it’s really interesting to look at the dynamics and the attitude and just how they treat their team, how they treat their staff and how they coach their teams. All of the leadership and the motivation are the same, no matter what sport you are in.”

“I have been fortunate enough to watch Muffet work up close for the past 15 years and have been simply amazed. She is an educator and the kind of person you would want your daughter to play for.”

COACHES AND STAFF

“Our expectations have changed. People see us as an elite program and a team that can get to the Final Four on a consistent basis. The past five years have given us an incredible boost in terms of our national prominence, and being in the ACC, which is the best league in women’s basketball, gives us the chance to compete against the best teams every night, and that’s what every high school player wants. “At the end of the day, it’s all about the players. The players we bring in are those who are a great fit for Notre Dame. It’s not necessarily about their talent as much as their chemistry with the rest of the team, and that’s probably the biggest reason for our success — our team chemistry. The teams we’ve had lately have been largely about sharing the ball, developing individually in the off-season and having that work ethic, intensity and competition, all areas that have risen so dramatically of late.”

“We approach our scheduling with the mindset that we want to learn all we can about our team early on. It would be easy for us to schedule many teams that wecould beat and pile up a nice record, but it wouldn’t do us any good later in the season — we wouldn’t be prepared. “It’s important for us to understand what we need to work on in order to get better as a team, and the best way to do that is by challenging ourselves against other top teams. That’s why we’re playing Connecticut, Tennessee, Ohio State, Oregon State, DePaul and UCLA this year. Playing those teams only makes us better and gets us ready for the challenges we’ll see, not only during ACC play, but then into March and the NCAA Championship.”

On her scheduling philosophy …

“Muffet McGraw has a great winning attitude and has a complete understanding of how to communicate her concepts to her players. She is absolutely a brilliant tactician and does everything with class. She represents the Fighting Irish and the Golden Dome in a very special way.”

2015-16 SEASON PREVIEW

“More than anything, I love what Notre Dame stands for. I’m working at a place where integrity matters. It’s a place that’s committed to excellence in absolutely everything we do, where we can pursue perfection and play for a national championship and still be No. 1 in graduation rate. It’s about the players, it’s about the people around our program and the values that they all have and the values that Notre Dame stands for. “It’s about wanting to be the best, but it’s absolutely about wanting to do it the right way. We think it’s important to be ambassadors, to be role models, and we embrace that. Our players enjoy the chance to be recognized in the community and to present that positive image to our fans — that’s very important to me and our reputation on campus and in the community has been phenomenal.”

We try to get involved in the community as much as possible because we appreciate what our fans have done for us and we want to be able to give something back to them.”

One of the nation’s premier coaches, Carol Owens is in her 16th season on the Notre Dame women’s basketball coaching staff, and her seventh as associate head coach for the Fighting Irish, having originally been elevated to that position by head coach Muffet McGraw prior to the 2002-03 season (holding that role through the 2004-05 campaign), and then again in the summer of 2012. Throughout her tenure at Notre Dame, Owens has focused on working with the Fighting Irish post players, while also assisting with the program’s nationally-ranked recruiting efforts (Notre Dame has attracted 19 consecutive Top 20 recruiting classes, something only two other schools can match). In addition, she has played a key role in the Fighting Irish scouting efforts, helping create the game plans for some of the program’s highest-profile wins, including seven over Connecticut and five against Tennessee in the past five seasons. During her 16-year combined stint at Notre Dame (first from 1995-2005, then again since 2010-11), Owens has played an important role in the Fighting Irish’s rise to national prominence. As the senior member of the program’s assistant coaching staff, Notre Dame has posted a 426-93 (.821), averaging more than 28 victories per season in her tenure. The Fighting Irish also won the 2001 national championship, played in the 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015 NCAA title games, reached the NCAA Women’s Final Four seven times (1997, 2001, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015), and made 11 Sweet 16 appearances, all with Owens on staff. Throughout her career at Notre Dame, Owens has had the magic touch when it comes to developing elite post players, with no fewer than five of her pupils earning a combined 10 All-America citations during their college careers before four went on be drafted into the WNBA (winning three league titles as professionals to date).

Owens also has consistently appeared on lists of the nation’s top assistant coaches. Most recently in 2014, she was chosen as the inaugural recipient of the A Step Up Assistant Coach of the Year Award, presented by Felicia Hall Allen & Associates. In 2001, she was named one of the top five assistant coaches in the country by Women’s Basketball Journal, and in 2011, CollegeInsider.com named her as one of the top 15 active assistants in the nation. The latest Fighting Irish posts to thrive under Owens’ guidance are Taya Reimer and Brianna Turner. Reimer showed terrific growth during her sophomore season (2014-15), improving her scoring and rebounding averages by more than 30 percent from her freshman year to career highs of 10.2 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, along with a personal-best .516 field-goal percentage. Reimer was particularly sharp during the final 12 games of the season, averaging 11.3 points per game with a .560 field-goal percentage, including 16 points each against No. 7/6 Florida State in the ACC Tournament championship game (on the way to second-team all-ACC Tournament honors) and against No. 3/4 South Carolina in the NCAA Women’s Final Four national semifinals. Meanwhile, Turner wasted little time in emerging as one of the nation’s top young posts, averaging 13.8 points and team highs of 7.9 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game with 10 double-doubles as a freshman in 2014-15. An Associated Press honorable mention All-America pick and the ACC Freshman of the Year, Turner led the nation with a .652 field-goal percentage (second-best in school history), becoming the first Division I freshman since 1996-97, and third rookie all-time to lead the country in that category. Turner also was the third Fighting Irish post player to finish in the top five in the nation in field-goal percentage during the past five seasons, coinciding exactly with Owens’ return to South Bend. In addition, Turner became the first Notre Dame player to win an NCAA statistical national championship since 2000-01, while her 89 total blocks were fourth on the Fighting Irish single-season list (second among freshmen) and her 10 double-doubles were third-most by a Notre Dame rookie. Turner was strong down the stretch, with five double-doubles during the ACC and NCAA tournaments while earning all-tournament honors in both events (the latter at the NCAA Women’s Final Four). She also averaged 14.5 points, 9.1 rebounds and 3.9 blocks with a .619 field-goal percentage and five double-doubles in 12 full games against ranked opponents as a freshman. Prior to her current assignments with Reimer and Turner, Owens worked closely with Natalie Achonwa, a two-time All-America and all-conference selection at Notre Dame from 2010-14, ranking among the top 10 in program history for career rebounds (4th - 970), double-doubles (5th - 28) and field-goal percentage (6th - .562), while also ranking 13th in career points (1,546). What’s more, she had a school-record 19 double-doubles as a junior in 2012-13 and ranked third in the nation with a .611 field-goal percentage as a senior in 2013-14. Achonwa went on to be selected in the first round (No. 9 overall) of the 2014 WNBA Draft by the Indiana Fever, for whom she made her debut a year later (delayed by her recovery from knee surgery) and finished third in the balloting for the 2015 WNBA Rookie of the Year award (an honor won by another Notre Dame All-American, Jewell Loyd) while helping the Fever reach the WNBA Finals. In addition, Owens helped Achonwa take her talents to the international stage, as Achonwa was selected to the 2012 Canadian Olympic Team, becoming the secondyoungest player to compete at the London Games. Achonwa also collected gold medals with Team Canada at the 2015 Pan Am Games and 2015 FIBA Americas Championship, plus a silver medal at the 2013 FIBA Americas Championship. Another of Owens’ recent success stories was two-time WBCA Coaches’ honorable mention All-American and BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year (as well as first-team all-BIG EAST selection) Devereaux Peters, who posted career highs in virtually every statistical category including scoring (11.9 ppg. in 2010-11), rebounding (9.3 rpg. in 2011-12) and field-goal percentage (.593 in 2010-11), in which she ranked fifth in the nation. Peters went on to be chosen in the first round (third overall selection) of the 2012 WNBA Draft by the Minnesota Lynx, becoming the highest draft choice and first WNBA Draft lottery pick in school history. Peters has gone on to earn two WNBA titles with Minnesota in 2013 and 2015. As a fifth-year senior under Owens’ tutelage in 2011-12, Peters tied longstanding school records for 15-rebound games (7) and 15-point/15-rebound games (4) in a single campaign, with both marks first set nearly 35 years earlier during the program’s first varsity season (1977-78). She also amassed a career-high 12 double-doubles in 2011-12 (tying for fifth-most in school history and most by a Fighting Irish player since 2004), including nine in her final 18 games. What’s more, she was the first player in program annals

als at the 2008 FIBA U18 Americas Championships in Argentina, and the 2009 FIBA U19 World Championships in Thailand -- in both cases, one of her standout players was former Notre Dame All-America guard Skylar Diggins (’13). In 2008, Owens was named USA Basketball’s Developmental Coach of the Year, and prior to that, she spent two summers (2006-07) as an assistant coach for Team USA, collecting two more gold medals (2006 FIBA U18 Americas; 2007 FIBA U19 Worlds) as an aide under current DePaul head coach (and U.S. Senior National Team assistant coach) Doug Bruno. Owens also coached former Notre Dame point guard Melissa Lechlitner (`10) on that 2007 USA squad that took gold at the U19 World Championships. For many years, Owens has been an important contributor within the women’s basketball coaching community. In 2008, she was selected to serve on the Board of Directors for both the Black Coaches & Administrators (BCA) and the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), serving on the latter body’s Executive Committee as the WBCA secretary before stepping down in 2011 to take a more active role on the BCA Board of Directors. Subsequently, in September 2012, Owens was chosen as BCA president for the 2012-13 academic year, helping that organization through a successful transition period that included the introduction of a new executive director. Owens originally came to Notre Dame in 1995 following two seasons as an assistant at Michigan, where she began her coaching career after enjoying a three-year professional playing stint in Japan, Spain and Italy. As a standout player at Northern Illinois from 1985-90 (she missed the `86-87 season with a knee injury), Owens compiled a very impressive resume. A two-time Kodak (now WBCA) Coaches’ All-District IV Team selection (1989 and 1990), Owens scored 2,102 points and averaged 18.0 points per game over four campaigns, covering 117 games. She also captained the Huskies for four seasons and, in her final collegiate campaign (1989-90), she guided Northern Illinois to the best record in school history (26-5), as the Huskies went undefeated in North Star Conference play (12-0) and earned the school’s first-ever NCAA Tournament bid. Owens finished her NIU career with 13 school records, most notably standing as Northern Illinois’ all-time leader in scoring, blocked shots, free throws made, free throw attempts and field-goal percentage -- to this day, she remains the Huskies’ career leader in blocks, free throws made and consecutive double-digit scoring games. In addition, she was the first player (male or female) in school history to score 2,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds. A native of Chicago, Owens received her bachelor of arts degree in communications from Northern Illinois in 1990. She was selected by the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to serve as Commencement Marshal of her graduating class and was named Northern Illinois’ Outstanding Woman. In addition, Owens was the recipient of the Student Leadership Award. In 1995, Owens was inducted into the Northern Illinois University Athletic Hall of Fame and followed up that honor with her induction into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA) Hall of Fame in 2001, and the Illinois High School Hall of Fame in 2014.

2015-16 SEASON PREVIEW

to pile up 75 blocks, 75 steals and 75 assists in one season, and just the second NCAA Division I player since 2001-02 to pull off that feat, while Peters’ 78 total blocks now tie her for sixth on the Fighting Irish single-season charts. After battling back from an injury-riddled start to her college career, Owens led Peters into uncharted territory in the Notre Dame women’s basketball record books as the first Fighting Irish player to register 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 200 blocks, 200 steals and 200 assists in her career. Overall, she appears in the top 10 on five of Notre Dame’s career statistical lists -- blocked shots (second - 227), rebounds (sixth - 937), field-goal percentage (eighth - .550), steals (ninth - 222) and double-doubles (10th - 23). She also stands among the top 20 in school history with 1,319 career points. “Carol is the best post coach in the country,” McGraw said. “She’s someone who understands exactly what it’s like to play in the post because she did it herself. She’s a great teacher of the game and really has a great feel for how to develop young players. Posts sometimes take a little longer to develop than guards, and Carol is such a patient teacher. She establishes a great relationship with our posts, they know she cares about them, and in turn, they want to work hard and do all they can to please her. She also has such a great philosophy on life and has so many great things that she can teach the players from that perspective.” “I am very happy to be at Notre Dame,” Owens said. “It’s a place that is so dear to my heart and the people there have been wonderful to me. I’ve had such a great relationship with Coach McGraw over the years, and I’m looking forward to continuing our work to make Notre Dame the best women’s basketball program in the country, year-in and year-out.” Owens’ reputation as one of the nation’s premier post coaches emerged during her first stint at Notre Dame from 1995-2005. Her most famous pupil to date has been Ruth Riley (’01), who was a three-time All-America selection (1999-2001) and capped off her Fighting Irish career as the 2001 consensus national player-of-the-year. She went on to win two WNBA titles (2003 and 2006 with the Detroit Shock), as well as a gold medal with the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team, becoming one of only nine players in women’s basketball history to earn NCAA, WNBA and Olympic championships in her career. In addition, Katryna Gaither (`97) was a two-time honorable mention All-America selection at Notre Dame while working with Owens, and Riley, Gaither, Peters, Achonwa and Kelley Siemon (`01) all were drafted into the WNBA following their Fighting Irish careers. “Carol Owens is one of the top assistant coaches in the nation, and in my opinion, she is the best skills coach in the country when it comes to the post position,” Riley said. “As a young player, I was very grateful to find a school where I knew I would develop fundamentally at my position. Coach Owens has personal experience of being an All-America post player, and she uses that knowledge to teach and mold young student-athletes. I am very grateful for the time she invested in making me the best post player I could be.” Between her lengthy coaching runs at Notre Dame, Owens spent five seasons (2005-10) as head coach at her alma mater, Northern Illinois University. During her time in DeKalb, Owens’ teams showed exceptional growth, as she posted a higher career winning percentage (.449) than either of her two predecessors and became only the second coach in the program’s near-half century of existence (first in close to three decades) to register double-digit victories every year she walked the sidelines at Northern Illinois. Owens’ finest season at NIU came in 2006-07, when she led the Huskies to a 19-12 record, their best mark in 14 years, and the program’s first berth in the Mid-American Conference Tournament semifinals since 2001-02. Two years later in 2008-09, Owens guided Northern Illinois to a 10-6 record in MAC play and a third-place finish in the conference’s West Division, logging the Huskies’ best regular-season league record since 2001-02. In fact, Northern Illinois has recorded 10 MAC wins three times since joining the conference in 1997-98 (including one 10-win campaign under Owens) and peaked with third-place finishes in the MAC West Division on four occasions (twice under Owens). Northern Illinois players also made tremendous individual strides under Owens’ watchful eye. Eight Huskies collected all-conference honors during her tenure, led by firstteam all-MAC guard (and eventual WNBA second-round draft pick) Stephanie Raymond in 2006-07. In addition, she helped mold Marke Freeman into the league’s Sixth Player of the Year in 2008-09. Her NIU teams were successful in the classroom as well, with the Huskie women’s basketball program boasting a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better every semester under Owens. What’s more, all 12 seniors that completed their careers at Northern Illinois during her tenure earned their degrees. As if that weren’t enough, Owens is a rising star on the national and international coaching scene through her work with USA Basketball. In 2008 and 2009, she served as head coach of the United States U18 and U19 teams, guiding those squads to gold med-

and I believe it is a reflection of the high standards this great university embodies. Quite simply, I can’t wait to continue everyone’s efforts at Notre Dame towards winning national championships.” In her first three seasons back at her alma mater, Cunningham has helped mold Notre Dame’s perimeter offense into one of the nation’s best. During the past two years, the Fighting Irish have ranked in the top 10 in the country in three-point percentage, finishing second in 2013-14 (.402) and seventh last season (.383) while posting the two highest totals of three-point field goals made in program history (190 in 2013-14; 186 last year). Cunningham also has found success with individual player development, most notably shaping Kayla McBride into one of the nation’s top players. Under Cunningham’s steady hand, McBride was a two-time All-America selection, earning consensus first-team honors as a senior in 2013-14. She also was the 2014 Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year, according to the conference coaches, after averaging career highs of 17.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in her final season. What’s more, McBride was the 2013 BIG EAST Championship Most Outstanding Player after leading Notre Dame to its first-ever BIG EAST tournament title, and she was dominant on the biggest stages, reflecting Cunningham’s own cool demeanor from her playing days while methodically shredding numerous Top 25 opponents, averaging 18.7 points per game against ranked teams in her final two seasons. Thus, it was no surprise that McBride was a first-round selection (No. 3

Beth Cunningham, a former two-time All-America guard at the University of Notre Dame and the program’s second all-time leading scorer, is in her fourth season as associate coach for the Fighting Irish. Cunningham returned to her alma mater in 2012 following 11 seasons at Virginia Commonwealth University, the final nine as the Rams’ head coach. At Notre Dame, Cunningham’s primary focus is working with the Fighting Irish wing players, as well as coordinating future game schedules and constructing game strategy and scouting reports, including wins over South Carolina and Stanford during last year’s NCAA tournament. She also helps develop daily practice plans and assists with the program’s nationally-ranked recruiting efforts. “Beth was a phenomenal shooter as a player here at Notre Dame, and she has the respect of all the players that are now in our program because they know she’s done exactly the same things that she’s teaching them,” head coach Muffet McGraw said. “She’s had great success as a head coach and she’s able to help me during games because she’s always been a poised and level-headed kind of person and never gets too high or low emotionally. “Beth sees the game from more of an objective view, so she’s really good on the bench during timeouts with comments and suggestions we can use,” McGraw added. “Understanding what the head coach is going through all the time makes her a great assistant because she helps make things easier for me in so many ways. All of us on the staff depend on her when it comes to managing the little things, the added details that come up, both on and off the court.” “I’m so thrilled to be back at Notre Dame,” Cunningham said. “To be a part of Coach McGraw’s staff is something I’ve always dreamed about. I have tremendous passion and pride in the Notre Dame women’s basketball program,

second behind Skylar Diggins), having set or tied 28 school records during her career, 11 of which she still holds, including career marks for points, scoring average (18.6 ppg.), double-figure scoring games (115) and 20-point games (56). Following her successful college career, Cunningham spent three seasons in the American professional basketball ranks, playing two seasons with the Richmond/Philadelphia Rage of the now-defunct American Basketball League (ABL) from 1997-98, and then one year with the WNBA’s Washington Mystics in 2000 before embarking on her coaching career. Cunningham also was a fixture in USA Basketball circles as both a player and coach, first suiting up for Team USA four times from 1996-99 (winning three medals including a gold with the 1997 USA World University Games Team) and serving as the athlete representative on the USA Basketball Women’s Junior National Team Committee since 2009 after spending time in a similar role on the USA Basketball Women’s Collegiate Committee from 2005-08. Cunningham graduated from Notre Dame in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing from the top-ranked Mendoza College of Business. She then went on to earn her master’s degree of education in sports leadership from VCU in 2003. Originally from Bloomington, Indiana, Cunningham was a two-sport standout at Bloomington South High School, earning all-state honors in both basketball and tennis and subsequently being inducted into the Monroe County Sports Hall of Fame in June 2011. What’s more, her father, Bob Morgan, was the longtime baseball coach at Indiana University from 1984-2005, leading the Hoosiers to more than 1,000 victories during his career. Cunningham and her husband, Dan (a former practice player for the Notre Dame women’s basketball program and a 1996 graduate of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business), are the proud parents of a four-year-old daughter, Margaret, and two-year-old twins Carly and Danny.

overall) in the 2014 WNBA Draft by the San Antonio Stars and immediately put all the lessons she learned from Cunningham to good use. McBride would up earning WNBA All-Rookie Team honors and posted the highest scoring season for a San Antonio rookie since the franchise relocated from Salt Lake City in 2003. In addition, McBride was San Antonio’s leading scorer (22.5 ppg.) during the 2014 WNBA playoffs and went on to earn WNBA All-Star honors in 2015. Thanks in part to Cunningham’s guidance, McBride also was named to the 2014-16 USA Basketball Senior National Team player pool and was a finalist for the 2014 USA Basketball World Championship Team that earned a gold medal in Turkey. McBride remains one of the top young players in the USA Basketball ranks and is a prime candidate to compete for a spot on the USA Basketball roster heading into the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Before returning to Notre Dame in the summer of 2012, Cunningham took the VCU women’s basketball program to new heights in her 11 seasons in Richmond, Va., spending one year as an assistant coach (2001-02) and another as associate head coach (2002-03) before assuming the head coaching duties prior to the 2003-04 campaign. She is the Rams’ all-time leader in women’s basketball coaching wins, having successfully piloted VCU to a 167-115 (.592) record and postseason appearances in each of her final five seasons, including the program’s first-ever NCAA Championship berth (an at-large selection in 2009). Under her tutelage, VCU also averaged better than 22 wins per season from 2007-08 through 2011-12, amassing three consecutive 20-win campaigns from 2008-10 (including back-to-back school-record 26-win seasons in 2007-08 and 2008-09) as part of the most successful four-year run in Rams’ history. A two-time Virginia Coach of the Year honoree by the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Cunningham coached three WNBA Draft picks and two AllAmericans, as well as two Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Players of the Year and 18 all-conference selections during her tenure at VCU. Among her more notable pupils were Quanitra Hollingsworth, a first-round selection (ninth overall) in the 2009 WNBA Draft by the Minnesota Lynx (now playing for the Seattle Storm), and Courtney Hurt, a 2012 third-round selection by the Indiana Fever, who was among the nation’s leaders in scoring and rebounding during her final two seasons. Much like her coaching career at VCU, Cunningham was a trailblazer during her playing days at Notre Dame from 1993-97 (when she competed under her maiden name of Beth Morgan), not only helping the Fighting Irish transition from the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (now the Horizon League) into the BIG EAST Conference in 1995-96, but then leading the program to the first of its four NCAA Women’s Final Four appearances and a (then) recordsetting 31-7 campaign as a senior in 1996-97. A two-time Associated Press and Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) honorable mention All-America choice, four-time first-team all-conference selection and two-year team captain, Cunningham sparked Notre Dame to a 97-32 (.752) record in her four seasons under the Golden Dome, including a pair of MCC regular season titles and the 1994 MCC postseason crown, as well as three NCAA Championship appearances (1994, 1996, 1997). When all was said and done, Cunningham departed as the all-time leading scorer in Fighting Irish women’s basketball history with 2,322 points (now

NIELE IVEY Associate Coach/Recruiting Coordinator Ninth Season Notre Dame ’00

THE IVEY FILE

Coaching Experience 2007-present University of Notre Dame Assistant/Associate Coach/Recruiting Coordinator (Ninth Season) 2005-07 Xavier University Administrative Assistant (Two Seasons) One of the finest point guards ever to wear the Notre Dame uniform, Niele Ivey (first name pronounced knee-L) rejoined the Fighting Irish women’s basketball program as a member of head coach Muffet McGraw’s staff in May 2007. Now in her ninth season at Notre Dame (she added the title of recruiting coordinator in 2012 and was promoted to associate coach in the summer of 2015), Ivey is one of the common links between all seven of the school’s Final Four appearances (five as a coach, two as a player) and works closely with the development of the Fighting Irish point guards, while serving as the architect of program’s remarkable recruiting success, and making major contributions to game scouting, practice planning and summer camp coordination. Since Ivey joined the Notre Dame coaching staff eight years ago, she has helped the Fighting Irish post a 250-42 (.856) record, including five NCAA Women’s Final Four berths, four NCAA title game appearances and seven conference championships (four regular season, three tournaments split between the BIG EAST and ACC). In that same span, Notre Dame has been ranked among the top 20 in the nation in scoring offense, assists and assist/turnover ratio five times, punctuated with a school-record 86.1 points per game (second in the nation), 765 assists (second in the nation) and 1.39 assist/turnover ratio (fifth in the nation) in 2013-14. In addition to her achievements in player development with such proteges as former two-time consensus first-team All-Americans Skylar Diggins and Jewell Loyd, as well as current junior (and 2014-15 Associated Press honorable mention All-American) Lindsay Allen, Ivey has emerged as a rising star on the recruiting trail, with a sharp eye for young up-and-coming talent. In fact, she has helped Notre Dame attract top-10 incoming classes each of the past six years, including top-five groups during the last four seasons (incoming classes of 2012-15). What’s more, Ivey has shown the ability to quickly flourish when it comes to scouting and in-game strategy. In the past five years alone, she has been directly responsible for creating the game plans that led to victories over Duke (six times), Tennessee (five times),

Connecticut (three times), Maryland (three times), Louisville (three times), Syracuse (three times), Baylor (twice), UCLA (twice), Texas A&M and Purdue, among many others. A former All-America point guard at Notre Dame and a five-year WNBA veteran, Ivey has brought her considerable experience to bear on the Fighting Irish floor generals, most recently taking Allen under her wing and helping the Mitchellville, Maryland, native to AP honorable-mention All-America status as a sophomore in 2014-15. Allen led the ACC in assists (5.3 apg.), becoming the fourth player in program history with 200 assists in a single season (205 -- tied Mary Gavin’s Notre Dame sophomore record set in 1985-86, while sharing sixth on the overall school single-season list). What’s more, Allen led the conference in assist/turnover ratio (2.14) and was one of only seven players in the nation to rank in the 30 nationally in both assists and assist/turnover ratio. She also boosted her scoring output by more than 67 percent from her freshman year (up to 10.4 ppg.) and added career highs in rebounds (3.5 rpg.), steals (1.3 spg.), field-goal percentage (.522), three-point percentage (.370) and free-throw percentage (.854). Allen earned a spot as one of five finalists for the 2015 Nancy Lieberman Award (nation’s top point guard), an accolade Ivey herself received during her senior season at Notre Dame in 2000-01. However, it was Allen’s performance at the 2015 NCAA Oklahoma City Regional that opened eyes nationally, as the sophomore was named the regional’s Most Outstanding Player after averaging 25.5 points, 5.5 assists and 5.0 rebounds with a 2.75 assist/turnover ratio and .576 field-goal percentage during the two-game regional. Allen made an early statement during her Notre Dame career, producing one of the finest rookie seasons by any point guard in program history in 2013-14. Allen became the first Fighting Irish point guard in two decades to start on opening night and thanks to Ivey’s instruction, all Allen did was lead the ACC and rank 30th in the nation in assist/turnover ratio (2.24), while also placing seventh in the conference with 3.9 assists per game (her 150 total assists were a school record for freshmen, smashing Gavin’s 29-year-old mark). In addition, Allen was outstanding in the 2014 NCAA Championship, averaging 4.7 assists per game with a 5.6 assist/turnover ratio (28 assists, five turnovers), with the latter figure ranking second among all players in the tournament who saw action in more than one game. Subsequently, Allen earned third-team Freshman All-America honors from Full Court Press. Along with working with Allen, Ivey helped mold Loyd into one of the country’s top players from 2012-15. In that three-year period, Loyd developed an offensive package unlike any seen in Notre Dame history, capped in 2014-15 by her 772 points (second-most on the program’s single-season charts) and 19.8 points-per-game scoring average (third in school history). The Lincolnwood, Illinois, product also tied the school record with 20 20-point games and set a new mark with four 30-point outings, and her best performances came against Top 25 teams, against which she averaged 22.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, including a school record-tying 41 at DePaul, 34 against Tennessee and 31 against Connecticut. Loyd, who elected to forego her senior season to enter the 2015 WNBA Draft and wound up being the first Fighting Irish player chosen No. 1 in the league’s annual college draft, finished fifth on Notre Dame’s career scoring list with 1,909 points, while her 17.0 career points-per-game average is second-highest in school history behind current Fighting Irish associate coach Beth Cunningham, who averaged 18.6 ppg. from 1993-97. Loyd holds the school record with seven career 30-point games and ranks fifth with 35 career 20-point games, as well as seventh with 99 career double-figure scoring games (out of 112 times she took the floor in a Notre Dame uniform).

“She’s got to be known as one of the best recruiters in the country and certainly with our point guards, she does just a phenomenal job,” McGraw added. “Like Beth (associate coach Beth Cunningham), Niele is another former player from our program who went on to play professionally and now is showing our current players how to get there, and our players really respect her for that.” Ivey sat out most of her freshman season at Notre Dame (1996-97 Final Four campaign) after suffering a season-ending knee injury five games in. However, she was awarded a fifth year of eligibility in 2000-01 and made the most of it, earning third-team AP All-America honors, the first Fighting Irish point guard to be so recognized. She also was the recipient of the 2001 Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award (nation’s top senior player standing 5-foot-8 or under) and was a finalist for the 2001 Lieberman Award. In addition, Ivey made the 2001 NCAA Women’s Final Four All-Tournament Team after averaging 16.5 points and 5.5 steals per game as the Fighting Irish defeated Connecticut and Purdue to win their first national title. All told, Notre Dame went 109-22 (.832) during Ivey’s last four seasons, reaching the NCAA Sweet 16 three times (1998, 2000, 2001) and rolling up a (then) school-record 34 wins in 2000-01. The Fighting Irish also won a share of their first BIG EAST regular-season championship in 2000-01 and were ranked in the top 10 of either or both the AP and WBCA/USA Today polls for all but two weeks during her final three campaigns. While at Notre Dame, Ivey was a three-time all-BIG EAST selection (1999-2001), collecting firstteam honors in 2001, and was tapped as the BIG EAST Player of the Week five times. She also led the Fighting Irish in steals in each of her final four seasons (1997-98 to 2000-01) and was the team’s assist leader in her last three years, setting school records with 95 steals in 1999-2000 (since topped by Diggins) and 247 assists in 2000-01, along with a school-standard 2.67 assist/turnover ratio the latter season. For her career, Ivey has a place on 16 of Notre Dame’s all-time top 10 lists, including the Fighting Irish records for steals (348, since topped by Diggins). She also among the program’s all-time leaders with 727 assists, a 5.5 assist-per-game average, a 2.6 stealsper-game mark and 132 career games played. Ivey went on to play five seasons in the WNBA, beginning with her selection by the Indiana Fever in the second round (17th overall pick) of the 2001 WNBA Draft. She spent four seasons with the Fever, helping them to the first playoff berth in franchise history in 2002. Ivey signed with the Detroit Shock as a restricted free agent in 2005, and subsequently was acquired by the Phoenix Mercury later that season. A native of St. Louis, Ivey graduated from Notre Dame’s College of Arts and Letters in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in history. She and her son, Jaden (13), make their home in South Bend.

COACHES AND STAFF

It was no surprise Loyd was chosen as the 2014-15 espnW National Player of the Year, while also ending as the runner-up for the AP National Player of the Year honor and the John R. Wooden Award and emerging as the program’s fifth consensus first-team All-America selection, among many other national accolades. Loyd was named the ACC Player of the Year last season and became only the seventh player in ACC history (second in Notre Dame annals) selected as the conference tournament’s Most Valuable Player twice. She went on to make the NCAA Women’s Final Four All-Tournament Team for the second year in a row, joining Diggins as the only Fighting Irish player to pull off that feat. Speaking of Diggins, Ivey was primarily responsible for supervising the growth of the South Bend native, who blossomed into one of Notre Dame’s legends in any sport and one of only seven inductees into the school’s prestigious athletics Ring of Honor. Under Ivey’s guidance, Diggins made a seamless transition from shooting guard to point guard during her final three seasons, emerging as one of the nation’s elite players to become one of just three two-time recipients of the Lieberman Award and a two-time consensus first-team All-America and BIG EAST Player of the Year selection before being chosen third overall in the first round of the 2013 WNBA Draft by the Tulsa Shock. She went on to be a first-team All-WNBA selection in 2014 after earning WNBA All-Rookie Team honors a year earlier, and she is a two-time WNBA All-Star selection. Diggins also is part of the 2014-16 USA Basketball Senior National Team player pool and was a finalist for the 2014 USA Basketball World Championship Team that earned a gold medal in Turkey. She remains a vital young contributor to USA Basketball fortunes and is expected to be a leading contender for a spot on the USA Basketball roster heading into the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Thanks to Ivey’s mentorship, Diggins became the first Fighting Irish player and one of only four NCAA Division I players during the 10-season period from 2001-02 to 2012-13 to register 600 points, 200 assists and 100 steals in a single campaign, pulling off that feat in each of her final two seasons (2011-12 and 2012-13). She also owns the top two singleseason steals totals in school history (114 in 2012-13, 102 in 2011-12), as well as two of the top three single-season assist marks in the Notre Dame record books (225 in 2012-13, 222 in 2011-12). What’s more, her 657 points in 2011-12 rank seventh on the school’s single-season chart, one spot higher than her 631 points as a senior in 2012-13. In addition, she posted the third-best assist-turnover ratio (2.16 in 2011-12) by a Fighting Irish player in one season (only eclipsed by Ivey herself - 2.67 in 2000-01 - and Allen in 2013-14). In each of her final two seasons at Notre Dame, Diggins ranked among both the NCAA and BIG EAST leaders (all games) in assists, steals and assist/turnover ratio. She also wrapped up the 2011-12 BIG EAST regular season (conference-only) statistical titles in assists (5.8 apg. - the second Notre Dame player to win the BIG EAST assist title, and first since Ivey in 1999-2000), steals (2.6 spg.), and assist-turnover ratio (2.3). Besides her seasonal awards, Diggins was a three-time NCAA Regional Most Outstanding Player (2010-Dayton; 2011-Raleigh; 2012-Norfolk) and was a member of the 2011 and 2012 NCAA Women’s Final Four All-Tournament Teams, becoming the first Notre Dame cager to be selected for either honor twice in her career. Diggins graduated in 2013 as the holder (or co-holder) of no fewer than 32 game, season or career records at Notre Dame, and ranks among the top five on an astounding 105 of the program’s game, season or career charts, including school records for career points (2,357), steals (381), games started (144) and double-figure scoring games (121), just to name a few. Ivey’s success with Diggins came on the heels of her work with two other standout Notre Dame point guards — Tulyah Gaines (2007-08) and Melissa Lechlitner (2008-10) — who enjoyed the best seasons of their careers under Ivey’s experienced eye. Lechlitner was at the helm to begin Notre Dame’s recent string of some of the more efficient offensive seasons in program history, including her senior season (2009-10) when Notre Dame posted a 1.11 assist/turnover ratio, one of six times in Ivey’s tenure the Fighting Irish have had a positive ratio (after doing so once in the program’s first three decades — Ivey’s final season in 2000-01). Ivey came back to Notre Dame following two seasons (2005-07) as an administrative assistant on the women’s basketball staff at Xavier University, where she served under former Notre Dame assistant coach Kevin McGuff (now the head coach at Ohio State). During Ivey’s two seasons at Xavier, she coordinated film exchange and assisted in many of the daily operations of the Musketeers’ program, including travel, academics and community outreach. “Niele is really a rising star, a rock star if you will, in the coaching profession,” McGraw said. “She does so many things for us, from recruiting to working with our guards, and every year she continues to grow and develop as a coach. She’s gotten more involved in adding new wrinkles to our offense and defense, and expanding her knowledge by going out and talking to other coaches about different aspects of the game.

Atlantic Coast Conference THE TRADITION Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any

endeavor. In today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition is so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now, in its 63rd year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it. Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 141 NCAA team championships, including 72 in women’s competition and 69 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC student-athletes 159 times in men’s competition and 120 times in women’s action. Given the ACC’s strong history and the strengthening of its ranks with the additions of Notre Dame, Pitt and Syracuse in 2013, followed by Louisville in 2014, those numbers – and the league’s longstanding tradition of excellence – appear destined to grow in the years ahead. Since 1977, when the league adopted women’s basketball, a tradition of excellence was established. Eight ACC squads were among the 64-team field for the 2015 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship, matching the league record set in 2014. The ACC’s five top-four seeds in the NCAA field were the most of any conference. It marked the 21st consecutive year that at least four ACC teams have been selected to the NCAA Championship Field. With three additional teams earning WNIT bids, the 11 total ACC teams taking part in postseason play in 2015 also led all conferences. ACC teams posted a cumulative record of 17-8 in the 2015 NCAA Championship, led by league champion Notre Dame’s run to its fifth straight Final Four. The Fighting Irish reached the NCAA title game before falling to Connecticut, 63-53. It marked the 20th Final Four appearance by a current ACC school and the 17th by a team representing the conference. Honors poured in for ACC student-athletes and coaches as Florida State’s Sue Semrau earned national coach of the year honors from the WBCA, Basketball Times, espnW and Associated Press. It marked the second straight year that an ACC coach has been recognized as the national coach of the year and the 13th year overall. In addition, Notre Dame’s Jewell Loyd was named the national player of the year by espnW, marking the eighth time an ACC women’s basketball student-athlete has been honored as the nation’s top player by at least one organization. Loyd earned first-team All-America recognition from the Associated Press, while Duke’s Elizabeth Williams earned second-team honors. It capped a stellar career for Williams, who became the first player in league history to be named an AllAmerican by the Associated Press four times and to also be selected four times as the ACC Defensive Player of the Year. She became just the second player in league history to be voted first-team All-ACC four times. For good measure, Williams was also named a third-team Academic All-American by Capital One.

Overall, the ACC’s women’s basketball programs continue to rank among the best in the country in terms of the postseason tournaments, having made 209 NCAA Tournament appearances and winning 296 games in the last 37 years. In addition to accolades such as sending three teams to the same Final Four for the first time in NCAA history in 2006, the league boasts such national accomplishments as sending at least one team to the “Sweet 16” for 34 consecutive seasons and at least one to the Final Four in 14 times. League membership accounts for 20 trips to the Final Four and two National Championships. The ACC and Big Ten battled to a 7-7 draw in the 2014 ACC-Big Ten Challenge. The ACC owns a 55-39 edge over the Big Ten since the Challenge was first played in 2007 and has won at least six games in all eight Challenges. The ACC and Big Ten conference offices determine the schedule each season, and matchups may not repeat from year-to-year in efforts to coordinate similar opponents and competitive equity. In addition the official title will rotate each year. Virginia’s Dawn Staley was the first ACC studentathlete to earn national players of the year honors with back-to-back selections in 1991 and ‘92, while North Carolina’s Charlotte Smith received the ESPY award in 1995. Duke’s Alana Beard was recognized with National Player of the Year honors in both 2003 and ‘04, and UNC’s Ivory Latta earned ESPN.com National Player of the Year in 2006. In 2007, Duke guard Lindsey Harding was named the Naismith Trophy Women’s College Player of the Year presented by AT&T, followed by the selection of Notre Dame’s Jewell Loyd by espnW in 2015. Seven league coaches have combined to earn 27 National Coach of the Year honors. Notre Dame’s Muffet McGraw, North Carolina’s Sylvia Hatchell, Florida State’s Sue Semrau, former Virginia head coach Debbie Ryan, former Maryland head coach Chris Weller, former Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors and the late NC State head coach Kay Yow all garnered national recognition. Seven ACC representatives, including coaches and student-athletes, have participated in the Olympics. Yow, assisted by Hatchell, headed up the ‘88 gold medalwinning Olympic team. Maryland’s Vicky Bullett was a member of both the ‘88 and ‘92 Olympic teams. Staley, a three-time Olympian, struck gold in Athens as a member of the ‘04 title squad, while Goestenkors served as an assistant coach on the gold medal-winning team in Athens. Staley also assisted the 2008 Olympic Champion team in Beijing. Since the inaugural season of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) in 1997, the ACC has been a recognizable presence in the league. One hundred twenty-five (125) former ACC stars have played on the hardwood in the WNBA, while six former players have worked the sidelines as coaches. Four ACC student-athletes were selected in the 2015 WNBA Draft, including No.1 overall pick Jewell Loyd of Notre Dame. Loyd joined Duke’s Lindsey Harding (2007) as the second ACC player to be selected first overall. Duke’s Elizabeth Williams and Wake Forest’s Dearica Hamby were also among the first six players chosen. The ACC has had at least one player selected in the first round of the last 10 drafts, and current membership accounts for 44 first-round selections.

In addition, ACC women’s basketball players have earned first-team Academic All-America honors 14 times, including Virginia’s Val Ackerman – the former President of the WNBA in ‘81. In 1997, NC State’s Jennifer Howard was tabbed GTE CoSIDA Academic Player of the Year after posting a 4.0 grade point average throughout her career. Twenty-three players have earned ACC postgraduate scholarships, while three others were named NCAA Postgraduate Scholars.

THE HISTORY The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, North Carolina with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest - drawing up the conference by-laws. The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern Conference came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference’s annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, North Carolina, where a set of bylaws was adopted and the name became officially the Atlantic Coast Conference. Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference appeared in the region’s newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh. Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid-South, Mid-Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline. Duke’s Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference expenses. On December 4, 1953, conference officials met again at Sedgefield and officially admitted Virginia as the league’s eighth member. The first withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971, when South Carolina tendered its resignation. The ACC operated with seven members until April 3, 1978, when Georgia Tech was admitted. The Atlanta school had withdrawn from the Southeastern Conference in January of 1964. The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State. The conference expanded to 11 members on July 1, 2004, with the addition of Miami and Virginia Tech. On October 17, 2003, Boston College accepted an invitation to become the league’s 12th member starting July 1, 2005. The ACC added its 13th and 14th members on Sept. 18, 2011, when Pittsburgh and Syracuse accepted invitations to join the conference. The two schools officially join the ACC on July 1, 2013. Notre Dame also officially joined the ACC on July 1, 2013, after announcing on Sept. 12, 2012 its intention to enter the league for competition in all sports but football, bringing the membership of the conference to 15. The Fighting Irish will play five games with ACC schools each year. On July 1, 2014, Louisville entered the ACC on the same day Maryland withdrew, keeping the conference’s membership at 15 institutions.

2015-16 SEASON PREVIEW

Besides being one of the most consistently successful programs in the nation, Notre Dame also is one of the country’s most well-traveled squads. Since 1995-96, the Fighting Irish have played in 92 different cities in 35 states (plus the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada and the Bahamas), spanning more than 10,000 miles and seven time zones from coast to coast and beyond. Along the way, the Fighting Irish travel in comfort, flying chartered planes to and from virtually all road sites, allowing studentathletes to miss only a bare minimum of class time. Below is a list of the cities and states Notre Dame has visited during the past 20 seasons, with opponents and/or events in parentheses:

2014-15 Season Notebook Irish Make History With Fifth Consecutive NCAA Final Four The 2014-15 season was one of historic success for Notre Dame (36-3, 15-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), as the Fighting Irish became the fourth program in NCAA Championship history to advance to the Women’s Final Four for a fifth consecutive season, and the third program to play in four NCAA title games in a five-year span. Notre Dame earned its place at the 2015 NCAA Women’s Final Four with a 77-68 win over No. 5/6 Baylor in the NCAA Oklahoma City Regional final on March 29 at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. With the victory, the Fighting Irish improved to 7-0 all-time in regional finals, the best winning percentage in Elite Eight games by any school in NCAA Championship history. Notre Dame then advanced to the NCAA title game for second year in a row and fourth time in five seasons with a thrilling 66-65 win over No. 3/4 South Carolina in the NCAA national semifinals on April 5 at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. The two heroes for the Fighting Irish in the victory were a pair of reserve guards — senior Madison Cable, who sank the game-winning basket on an offensive rebound with 19 seconds left, and junior Hannah Huffman, whose tight defense on USC’s Tiffany Mitchell prevented the Gamecocks’ guard from getting a clear look at the basket in the closing seconds. For the second year in a row, Notre Dame met longtime rival Connecticut in the NCAA championship game on April 7 in Tampa. The teams waged a fierce battle through the evening, with the Fighting Irish doggedly battling the Huskies tooth and nail. Notre Dame would overcome a rough first half to get within 54-48 with 6:30 remaining before a pair of late threepointers helped finally push the verdict in UConn’s favor, 63-53. As was the case a season earlier, the Notre DameConnecticut matchup in the 2015 NCAA championship game drew an impressive national television audience on ESPN with a 2.02 rating (approximately 3.1 million viewers) in the United States.

Notre Dame Repeats As ACC Champions Notre Dame’s historic success last season also extended to the conference level, as the Fighting Irish became just the third program in Atlantic Coast Conference history to sweep the league’s regularseason and tournament titles in consecutive seasons (and first to pull off that remarkable feat since 200304). What’s more, this marked Notre Dame’s fourth consecutive outright regular-season league title, continuing the longest run of conference success

in the program’s 38-year history. Prior to their final two years in the BIG EAST and first two seasons in the ACC (2012-15), the Fighting Irish had won three league titles in a row just once — 1988-89 through 1990-91 in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (now Horizon League), and the first of those three was a co-championship. Notre Dame also became only the second ACC school from outside North Carolina’s Triangle region (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) to earn back-to-back outright regular-season titles and the first in two decades. In addition, the Fighting Irish raised their regularseason conference record to 31-1 since joining the ACC in 2013-14, becoming the third program in league history to suffer only one conference loss in a two-year span, and the first since 2003-04. Notre Dame repeated its clean sweep of the ACC titles by toppling No. 7/6 Florida State, 71-58 in the ACC Tournament final on March 8 in Greensboro, North Carolina. It was the eighth postseason tournament championship in program history, and third in a row, marking the first time since 1989-92 (in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference) that the Fighting Irish won three consecutive conference tournament titles.

Notre Dame Was Hoop City, USA No other campus in America enjoyed the kind of success on the basketball court that Notre Dame saw in 2014-15. The Fighting Irish men’s and women’s basketball programs posted a combined 68-9 (.883) on the hardwood last season, the best by any school in the country. Notre Dame also was the only institution to see both of its basketball teams reach the NCAA Elite Eight (the Fighting Irish doing so for the first time since 1979 before a narrow loss to Kentucky in the regional final). Both Notre Dame squads topped 30 wins in the same season for the first time ever, and surpassed 25 victories in the same season for the fourth time in eight years (also 2007-08, 2010-11 and 2012-13) after never having previously reached that win total in the same season. Last year’s Fighting Irish teams also set a school record for combined men’s/women’s basketball victories and combined winning percentage mark in a single season, easily outpacing the 60-12 (.833) basketball record in 2012-13 (women 35-2; men 2510). Both Notre Dame teams also won the ACC Tournament title in 2014-15, marking the 13th time one ACC school swept both postseason basketball crowns and the first time it was done by any school not located on Tobacco Road.

The Winning Mentality Notre Dame advanced to its fifth consecutive NCAA Women’s Final Four and fourth national championship game berth in five years, thanks to another long winning streak. Following a mid-January upset loss at Miami (snapping a 61-game Fighting Irish winning streak against unranked opponents in the Associated Press poll), Notre Dame reeled off 22 consecutive victories, tying the fourth-longest winning streak in program history. In that span, the Fighting Irish won 18 games by double digits and defeated nine ranked opponents (including seven that were ranked in the top 10 in either major national poll at tipoff). This marked the fourth consecutive season that the Notre Dame women’s basketball team posted a winning streak of 20 games or longer, having reeled off 21 in a row in 2011-12, followed by 30 consecutive wins in 2012-13 and a school-record 37-game winning streak in 2013-14.

A Record-Setting Season It’s become an annual tradition to update the Notre Dame record books following another wildlysuccessful season and that was again the case in 2014-15. This past year, the Fighting Irish set single-season school records for games played (39), most wins at home (19) and most wins over top-10 opponents (8), while narrowly missing additional marks for total wins (36; record is 37 in 2013-14), total points (3,114; record is 3,271 in 2013-14), three-pointers made (186; record is 190 in 2013-14), three-pointers attempted (486; record is 490 in 2009-10), total rebounds (1,617; record is 1,621 in 2012-13), blocked shots (195; most since school-record 228 in 2000-01) and fewest times fouled out (four; record is three in 2013-14).

Notre Dame Among NCAA Statistical Chart Toppers Standout freshman forward Brianna Turner became the first Notre Dame player since 2000-01 (and the third in program history) to earn an NCAA individual statistical championship after leading the nation with a .652 field-goal percentage last season. Alicia Ratay was the most recent NCAA statistical champion with a school-record .547 three-point percentage in 2000-01. Turner was the third freshman in NCAA Division I history to earn the field-goal percentage crown (and first since 1996-97), and her .652 mark was the second-highest by any Fighting Irish player in school history (Ruth Riley shot a national-best .683 from the field as a sophomore in 1998-99).

To Be the Best, You Must Beat the Best

A Class Like No Other

COACHES AND STAFF

For the fourth consecutive season, a Notre Dame senior class set the bar for career wins by one group. Senior tri-captains Whitney Holloway and Markisha Wright helped pace the Fighting Irish to a remarkable 143-10 (.935) record during their fouryear careers, including four NCAA Women’s Final Four berths, three trips to the NCAA national championship game, four conference regular-season titles and three conference tournament crowns. The 143 victories compiled by the Class of 2015 were five more than the previous year’s seniors and capped a four-year run that saw Holloway and Wright help the Fighting Irish average more than 35 wins per season. The 2014-15 Notre Dame seniors also built a legacy that ranks among the greatest in Fighting Irish athletics history, rivaled only by the 1946-49 football team, the 1994-97 women’s soccer team and the 201314 women’s basketball team.

THE FIGHTING IRISH

Thirty Deeds Notre Dame’s 36 wins in 2014-15 were one shy of the school record set in 2013-14. It also represented the fifth consecutive year and seventh time overall

Points Aplenty Notre Dame’s success in 2014-15 could be traced to its high-flying offense, which ranked fifth in the nation at 79.8 points per game. It was the fourth consecutive season that the Fighting Irish finished among the top five teams in the country in scoring, and the sixth year in a row they averaged at least 77 points per game. Notre Dame also challenged a program record by scoring at least 100 points in four games last season, one shy of the high-water mark set in 2013-14. Three of those triple-digit games came in the first six games of the season, the first time the Fighting Irish have ever pulled off that feat. Notre Dame now has 14 triple-digit games in the past four seasons after amassing just 13 100-point outings in the program’s first 34 seasons of existence. The Fighting Irish scored a season-high 112 points on Nov. 25 against Quinnipiac in the Hall of

Fame Challenge at Purcell Pavilion. It was the fifthmost points scored by Notre Dame in a single game and third-highest output produced in Purcell Pavilion history.

2015-16 SEASON PREVIEW

In recent seasons, Notre Dame has withstood numerous challenges from strong opponents and come out on top. Once again, that was the case in 2014-15, as the Fighting Irish went 13-2 against top25 teams last year, including an 8-2 mark against top10 squads (in either major national poll) a season ago. What’s more, eight of Notre Dame’s 13 wins over ranked teams came by double figures, highlighted by six victories over top-10 opponents. The 13 wins over ranked opponents tied for the third-most for Notre Dame in one season, surpassed only by the 15 wins in 2011-12 and 14 victories in 2013-14. At the same time, the eight wins over top-10 opponents tied the program record, first set in 201314. During the past four seasons, the Fighting Irish are 54-8 (.871) against ranked opponents in that span, highlighted by a 29-8 (.784) record against teams in the top 10.

the Fighting Irish posted a 30-win season, something Notre Dame had not done prior to its current run. The Fighting Irish also had 28 regular-season victories, narrowly missing the program standard (29 in 2013-14), and they reached the 30-win mark prior to the NCAA Championship for the fourth consecutive year.

2001 NCAA National Champions

Irish Eyes Were Smiling In 2001

Notre Dame wins first NCAA title to cap off a magical season; Riley and McGraw named consensus National Player and Coach of the Year

Surrounded by her players, Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw accepts the NCAA championship trophy moments after the Fighting Irish defeated Purdue, 68-66, on April 1, 2001, capping off a magical 34-2 season with the program’s first national title. When the University of Notre Dame women’s basketball team first played in the NCAA Final Four in 1997, high school senior Ruth Riley — already signed to play for the Irish — watched on television. Little did she know four years later she would be the star of stars in that same show. When Niele Ivey came to Notre Dame in the fall of 1996, she thought she would have been graduated and gone by the time the 2000-01 came along. But, a pair of serious knee ligament injuries set her career back by a season, leaving her a final year of eligibility to play with Riley in 2000-01. Little did she know it would turn into a dream come true in her St. Louis hometown. When Muffet McGraw became Notre Dame’s head coach in 1987, the Irish were still five seasons away from making the NCAA Championship for the first time in the history of the program. But, then-athletic director Gene Corrigan dubbed her the perfect person to lead the Irish to the promised land. Little did she know 2001 would be the perfect year. When senior Kelley Siemon looked ahead to her final season at Notre Dame, her modest personal goal involved attempting to regain the starting job she lost a the previous year after two seasons in the starting lineup. Little did she know she would accomplish that objective with such flair, earning herself the BIG EAST Conference’s most improved player award in the process. When Notre Dame began the 2000-01 season, the Irish had never beaten perennial national power Connecticut. McGraw readily admitted you couldn’t call it a rivalry when the Huskies had won all 11 previous meetings. In five of the previous six meetings, Connecticut won by 18 or more points — and only twice in the 11 meetings had the Huskies’ winning margins been in single digits. Little did the Irish know they twice would defeat Connecticut in 2000-01, both times when the Huskies were ranked number one in the country — and by margins of 16 and 15 points. Now, that’s progress. It marked the first time Connecticut had been beaten twice in a season by the same team since Miami (Fla.) did it in 1992-93 when the Hurricanes stormed through their second BIG EAST season. And so it went in a magical confluence of skill, grit, fortune and character that turned into a national championship for Riley, Ivey, McGraw, Siemon and their cohorts in 2000-01. Any real Irish fan might have known this would happen way back in November and December. After all, Notre Dame got off to a zesty start thanks to Thanksgiving weekend victories over 19th-ranked Wisconsin (on the Badgers’ floor) and sixth-

158

rated Georgia in the Coaches vs. Cancer Challenge, followed by a first-week-ofDecember home win over sixth-ranked and eventual championship game adversary Purdue. Still, for all the glitz produced by their 16-0 record, the third-ranked Irish somehow knew they needed to prove they could go toe to toe with the Connecticuts and Tennessees of the women’s hoops world before they would be viewed as serious contenders for the NCAA crown that eight previous times had gone to the Huskies or the Vols. And so they did just that. On a Martin Luther King Day afternoon in the Joyce Center on the Notre Dame campus, the Irish recorded a victory that registered much stronger on the Richter scale than anything else they’d ever accomplished in women’s basketball. They didn’t just beat Connecticut, they led wire to wire. They didn’t just sneak by, by a point or two, they dominated the game from start to finish, led by a singular performance by Riley, who finished with 29 points and 12 rebounds. They might have used Siemon’s bandaged hand as an excuse. Instead, the senior forward became that day’s poster child for determination, as she gutted out a 15-point, eight-rebound, five-assist effort. That day put Notre Dame women’s basketball on the map like no other game had. It earned the Irish the number-one ranking, it lit up the number-one sign on top of Grace Hall — and it prompted the raising of the number-one flag in front of the Joyce Center. Being first marked a first for the Irish women. Longtime Irish athletic observers called it one of the most uplifting sports moments seen at Notre Dame in some time. McGraw’s crew ran its winning streak to 23 before a one-point road loss at Rutgers and a two-point BIG EAST Tournament championship game loss at Connecticut. That sent Notre Dame into the NCAA Championship as one of four number-one seeds (Connecticut, Tennessee and Duke were the others). Ironically, the two defeats might have steeled the Irish for what was to come in March. They found at Rutgers that even when you out-shoot (the Scarlet Knights shot only 33 percent) and out-rebound your opponent, 50 percent free-throw shooting (11 of 22) can prove to be your undoing. And even in the loss on Connecticut’s floor on a last-gasp shot in the conference tourney finale, they proved they could play at a frenetic pace (Connecticut led 52-46 at half) in a hostile environment and survive impressively. Despite the loss, the game further cemented the notion in the heads of the Irish that they could compete with the Huskies. All of a sudden, the Irish appeared as likely a team as any other to win it all.

Notre Dame 68 • Purdue 66 (National Championship Game)

COACHES AND STAFF

to the line for two shots. The national player of the year showed why she merited that honor, hitting both attempts for a 68-66 Notre Dame lead. That left her with 28 points, 13 rebounds and seven blocked shots — an effort that earned her the most outstanding player designation for the Final Four. Purdue’s Katie Douglas had one final chance, but as her last-gasp shot bounced off the rim, the celebration began — as the purple, pink and gold streamers surrounded a giddy cast of Irish players and coaches. The 22nd national championship in Notre Dame athletic history hardly could have come in more dramatic fashion. The Irish led for only 1:18 of the 40 minutes. Ericka Haney slashed her way to 13 points, Ivey added 12 and Siemon chipped in with 10 to complement Riley. Years from now, Ruth Riley will remember the tears and the hugs and the euphoria of those precious seconds after victory was secured — and she’ll try to put them in perspective. Niele Ivey will thank her lucky stars that uncontrollable injuries left her in position to star on the 2000-01 squad. Muffet McGraw will wonder where her coaching road might have taken her if she’d never accepted Gene Corrigan’s invitation. And Kelley Siemon will laugh at the idea anyone even considered that a broken bone in her hand might keep her from helping Notre Dame to its first-ever women’s basketball national championship. In a season that will leave behind a remarkable glow for some time to come at Notre Dame, the 2000-01 Irish were as good as gold.

THE FIGHTING IRISH

Meanwhile, the bandwagon grew bigger by the day. Thanks to sellout crowds at the Joyce Center for the Connecticut and Georgetown home dates, and including nine of the top 15 crowds in Irish women’s basketball history during the 2000-01 campaign, Notre Dame finished 10th in the country in home attendance at 6,376 per game. The Irish breezed through their first two NCAA tests, playing for the second straight season on their home floor for the first two rounds. Against 16th-seeded Alcorn State in the first round, a 19-1 run at the end of the first half enabled Notre Dame to double the score by halftime (47-23), with Riley required for only 20 minutes of play (she hit all six shots for 16 points) in the 98-49 win. The Irish were nearly as dominant two nights later in an 88-54 triumph over Michigan. Next, it was on to the Midwest Regional in Denver. In the semifinals, Riley notched 12 of Notre Dame’s first 13 second-half points as the Irish prevailed 69-54 against defense-minded Utah. Then came a stretch in which Notre Dame displayed a resiliency never before seen by an NCAA champion in women’s basketball. The Irish had been so dominant throughout the season they trailed only four percent of the time in their games. They averaged a 14-point halftime lead during the season. But, in none of the final three games of the NCAA Championship did Notre Dame hold the lead at halftime. The Irish became the first team to win an NCAA crown in women’s basketball by overcoming double-digit deficits in both the semifinal and championship games. Against Vanderbilt in the regional final, there were more than enough storylines to go around with McGraw facing her former mentor in Commodore coach Jim Foster — and first- team All-America center Riley going up against Vanderbilt’s second-team All-America center, Chantelle Anderson. The Irish broke out of a 40-40 halftime tie, with Riley scoring 11 straight points after Anderson fouled out (and 22 overall in the second half on her way to a season-high 32) to pave the way for a 72-64 triumph. Now on to the NCAA Final Four for the second time in five years, the Irish headed for Ivey’s hometown of St. Louis where the Savvis Center would be home to the women’s basketball championship. The semifinal matchup between top-rated Connecticut and second-rated Notre Dame provided a turnaround that proved absolutely spellbinding. The Irish never led early on, facing deficits of 6-0, 23-10, 44-31 and as many as 16 points at 47-31. Riley played only 12 minutes in the first half after picking up a second foul and had only three points at intermission. Ivey kept her team somewhere in range with a dozen points in the first 20 minutes. An Asjha Jones jumper at the 19:13 mark of the second session made it 54-39 for the Huskies — and from there the Irish went to work with a vengeance. An 11-2 Notre Dame run pulled McGraw’s troops within a bucket by the 14:37 mark — and Alicia Ratay’s three-pointer gave the Irish their first lead of the night at 61-59. Then, from the time Notre Dame trailed 65-63, the Irish used a 16-1 run to take a commanding 79-66 advantage that held up for a final 90-75 margin. The Irish set a Final Four and Notre Dame record for three-point percentage by hitting eight of 11 (.778) from long range. Notre Dame ended the top-ranked team’s season by outscoring Connecticut, 53-26 in the second half. The comeback in the championship game against downstate rival Purdue was slightly less profound, but no less significant considering the stakes. Purdue ran out to 16-5 and 19-7 advantages, but the Irish clawed back and scored the first eight points of the second half to take their first lead at 34-32. Purdue held leads most of the rest of the way (including an eight-point bulge with 12 minutes remaining) until Riley’s inside bucket tied the contest at 66 with 1:01 left on the clock. After Shereka Wright missed for Purdue, the Irish called timeout with 25 seconds remaining. Siemon then did what most of the crowd of 20,551 expected. She made an entry pass to Riley, and with 5.8 seconds left, freshman Wright fouled Riley and sent her

player ever to appear in two Olympics (she also suited up for Canada at the 2012 London Games). Ogunbowale (3x3 National Championships) and Patberg (FIBA U19 World Championships) also earned gold medals with USA Basketball, with Ogunbowale (FIBA 3x3 World Championships), Reimer and Marquez (both Pan Am Games) adding silver medals to their collections this past summer. In 2014, Jewell Loyd earned two gold medals in 3x3 play with the USA Basketball 3x3 National Team at the national championships in Colorado Springs, as well as the FIBA 3x3 World Championships in Moscow, Russia. That same summer, Turner earned her fifth career USA Basketball gold medal (first since signing to attend Notre Dame) as a starter and captain with the 2014 USA U18 Americas Championship Team. One of Turner’s teammates on that squad was current Fighting Irish freshman guard Marina Mabrey (who declared her intention to enroll at Notre Dame later that year). Notre Dame remains front and center with the USA Basketball Senior Women’s National Team, led by Skylar Diggins (’13) and Kayla McBride (’14), who are members of the 2014-16 USA Basketball player pool and were among 16 finalists for the 2014 USA World Championship Team. Both players are under consideration for USA Basketball teams that will compete in international events during the next year, including the 2016 Rio Olympics. They are the first Irish players to suit up with the USA Senior Women’s National Team since Riley’s 2004 Olympic appearance, and McBride, who joined the player pool prior to her senior

Team). In fact, at least one Notre Dame player (either an alumnus, current player or incoming freshman) has played for a USA or Canada Basketball team at an international tournament in 10 of the past 12 years (200415), with the Fighting Irish collecting at least one gold medal each summer in that span. Included on this list are seven current Notre Dame players — guards Lindsay Allen, Marina Mabrey, Michaela Mabrey, Arike Ogunbowale and Ali Patberg, and forwards Taya Reimer and Brianna Turner — who have combined to earn 15 medals (12 gold) in their careers, dating back to when they first signed their official national letters of intent to enroll at Notre Dame, and not counting any additional medals won during skills competitions related to 3x3 tournaments. The Irish have four current staff members with international basketball experience in head coach Muffet McGraw, associate head coach Carol Owens (the 2008 USA Basketball Developmental Coach of the Year), associate coach Beth (Morgan) Cunningham (who played for four USA Basketball teams during the mid-1990s) and athletic trainer Anne Marquez. Together, this quartet has led its USA teams to 10 medals (seven gold) in 10 domestic or international competitions. The summer of 2015 was particularly busy for Notre Dame on the international front, led by Natalie Achonwa (‘14), who nabbed a pair of gold medals with Team Canada at the Pan Am Games and FIBA Americas Championship. The victory in the latter tournament was especially noteworthy as it clinched Canada’s place in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, putting Achonwa in position to become the first Fighting Irish

COACHES AND STAFF

Through the years, the University of Notre Dame women’s basketball program not only has achieved success during the college season, but also it has seen its players and coaches reach similar heights on the international stage while representing both the United States and Canada. All told, the Fighting Irish have seen 19 players who have successfully competed in domestic and/or international competition (with either USA or Canada Basketball), with the players having won 32 medals (including 18 golds, led by Ruth Riley’s gold medal as a member of the 2004 U.S. Olympic

season (2013-14), became the first active Notre Dame player to train with the USA Senior Women’s National Team. Along with Achonwa’s Olympic debut in the summer of 2012, Michaela Mabrey laid the foundation for her college career by leading the USA U18 National Team to the gold medal at the 2012 FIBA Americas U18 Championship in Puerto Rico. Mabrey was joined on that team by Marquez, giving the Fighting Irish another tie to international championship gold. The future of Notre Dame women’s basketball was on display for USA Basketball at the 2012 U17 World Championship in Amsterdam, Netherlands, as Allen, Reimer and Turner all combined to lead the Americans to a 9-0 record and the gold medal. As it turns out, Notre Dame is no stranger to international success on the U17 level, as Loyd helped USA Basketball to the title at the inaugural FIBA U17 World Championship in 2010 in Toulouse, France. Diggins wrapped up the summer of 2012 in historic fashion, earning her fifth USA Basketball gold medal (and fourth in international competition, all since 2008), pacing the United States to the gold at the inaugural 3x3 World Championships in Athens, Greece. A year earlier, Diggins teamed with fellow Notre Dame All-Americans Natalie Novosel and Devereaux Peters to become the first Fighting Irish trio to win gold medals for the same USA Basketball team in the same tournament, helping the U.S. to a 6-0 record and the 2011 World University Games title in Shenzhen, China.

Diggins averaged 12.3 ppg., while also leading all tournament players in assists (4.8 apg.) and ranking among the top 10 at the event in steals (third with teamhigh 3.3 spg.) and field-goal percentage (10th at .475). In fact, Diggins narrowly missed breaking two longstanding USA Basketball World University Games records, with her 20 steals ranking third all-time behind the 21 thefts collected in 1987 by Alisa Scott and Women’s Basketball Hall of Famer/1988 Wade Trophy recipient Teresa Weatherspoon. Diggins’ 29 assists also are third-most by a USA Basketball player at the World University Games, one off the record shared by Kamie Ethridge (1985) and Suzie McConnell (1987). Peters also had an impressive showing at the World University Games as the leading American scorer off the bench (and fourth overall) with 10.0 points per game. She also was fourth on the team in rebounding (5.3 rpg.), and ranked among the top 10 in the entire tournament in field-goal percentage (fifth at .560, second-best on team) and blocked shots (ninth with team-high 1.0 bpg.). Novosel was one of the “glue” players for the United States, starting all six games in her international debut and doing a bit of everything, winding up with 4.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game, the latter total ranking fourth on the team. Led by the Notre Dame trio, the United States set new USA Basketball World University Games records for scoring margin (+45.0 points per game) and average rebounds per game (56.5 rpg.). The

Americans also posted their second-best scoring average ever at the World University Games, and best in 20 years (97.8 points per game; the record is 105.0 ppg. by the 1991 squad that included Hall of Famers Lisa Leslie, Dawn Staley and Ruthie Bolton), as well as their second-best defensive scoring average at the tournament, and best in 38 years (52.8 ppg.; the record is 48.0 ppg. set by the inaugural 1973 team). Like Mabrey, McBride earned a place on the United States U18 National Team back in 2010, a squad that took home the gold medal at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship in Colorado Springs, Colo. Owens made her mark as both an assistant coach and head coach in the USA Basketball program from 2006-09, helping the United States win four gold medals in as many international tournaments under her tutelage. The Chicago native coached twice at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship, striking gold as an assistant in 2006 and a head coach in 2008, and twice at the FIBA U19 World Championships, winning titles as an assistant in 2007 and head coach in 2009. During her four successful head-coaching runs with USA Basketball, Owens also had the opportunity to work with Diggins, adding an even greater Golden Dome glitter to the Americans’ championship medals.

Natalie Achonwa is a rising star for her native Canada, having earned five medals (two gold, two silver, one bronze) on the international stage. At age 19, she was the second-youngest player at the 2012 London Olympics, averaging 7.2 ppg. and 3.8 rpg. as Canada made the quarterfinals for the first time since 1984.

OPPONENTS

Irish women’s basketball program has been well-represented on USA Basketball committees in the last few years, with McGraw spending time as part of the USA Basketball Women’s Collegiate Committee (now evolved into the Junior National Team Committee), while Notre Dame graduates Morgan (’97) and Coquese Washington (’92, JD ’97) both also served on the USA Basketball Junior National Team Committee.

COACHES AND STAFF

McGraw herself served as an assistant coach with the South Team at the 1993 U.S. Olympic Festival, helping that squad post a perfect 4-0 record and claim the gold medal. Notre Dame players also have been regular participants at USA Basketball national team trials in recent seasons, with at least one Fighting Irish player competing to wear the Stars and Stripes nearly every summer since 1996. In addition, the Fighting

THE FIGHTING IRISH

Other representatives of the Notre Dame women’s basketball program to compete on the world stage include: Melissa Lechlitner (’10), who struck gold with the 2007 Women’s U19 World Championship Team (making Lechlitner the first South Bendarea female to earn a gold medal in international basketball competition and paving the way for Diggins’ gold rush), Megan Duffy (’06), who claimed a gold medal as a cocaptain and starter for the 2005 USA World University Games Team, and Riley (’01), who made prior USA Basketball appearances in 1998 and 1999 before her historic Olympic gold medal in 2004, which made her one of just nine women’s basketball players in history to win an NCAA title, a WNBA championship and an Olympic gold medal. Two other former Fighting Irish All-Americans — Katryna Gaither (’97) (two teams, two medals) and Cunningham (’97) (four teams, three medals) — also have suited up for Team USA since 1996. In earlier years, Notre Dame also had several players compete at the U.S. Olympic Festival during its existence from 1978-95 — Trena Keys (1982-83 for North Team), Heidi Bunek (1985-86 for North Team), Karen Robinson (1987 and 1989 for East Team) and Kristin Knapp (1991 for West Team). Both Bunek and Robinson earned silver and bronze medals in their two appearances, while Knapp took home a bronze in her only visit.
